"New ecological options for the management of horticultural crop pests in Sudano-Sahelian agroecosystems of west Africa"^^ . "The agroecological approach to agroecosystem management relies on two\r\npillars: vegetational diversification and soil biological activity enhancement. Although\r\ncrop pests and their natural enemies may be diversely affected by measures derived\r\nfrom these principles, those generally result in increased agroecosystem resilience visà-\r\nvis both aerial and soil pests. Earlier studies by ICRISAT and CIRAD and their\r\npartners in West Africa showed the potential of the implementation of these principles\r\nfor the management of some major pests of both staple food and horticultural crops,\r\nand their limitations for others, notably in the water-saving and income-generating\r\nsystems mixing cereals, legumes, and high-value crops currently promoted in the\r\nSudano-Sahelian zones, such as the drip irrigation-based African Market Garden\r\n(AMG) and the water harvesting-based Bio-Reclamation of Degraded Lands (BDL)\r\nsystems. Pigeon-pea showed potential for trap-cropping tomato fruit worm (TFW) on\r\nokra, while Andropogon grass was dismissed for such management of stem-borer on\r\npearl millet, and mixed results were obtained with castor bean and other potential\r\ntrap crops for panicle-feeding bug management on sorghum. The results presented\r\nhighlight the potential for mobilizing either aerial or soil-bound biological processes\r\nfor managing fruit flies (FF), the main pest of grafted jujube tree, and leaf worm, the\r\nmain pest of the Moringa tree, for sustainable production of these two major crops (in\r\nBDL and AMG systems, respectively), without having to rely on synthetic pesticide\r\nsprays. Studies on the social acceptability of the proposed management options (e.g.,\r\npigeon-pea in okra-based BDL) are also underway. The potential of the Jatropha\r\nshrub grown as a live-fence around these systems, either for its top-down effects or via\r\nthe use of its extracts in an assisted push-pull strategy, is discussed. These studies on\r\ntargeted pathosystems serve the dual purpose of finding solutions to local problems\r\nand contribute more globally to the design of pest resilient agrosystems."^^ . "2011" . .
