Cependant, ce Jardin Botanique n’a pas atteint son objectif du fait d’un ensemble de contraintes parmi lesquelles un manque d’information sur sa liste floristique.

Objetivou-se com esse estudo avaliar o crescimento e o desempenho de mudas de pitangueira cultivadas em substratos com diferentes proporções de caule decomposto de babaçuzeiro (CDB). Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 6 tratamentos e 4 repetições, referentes as proporções de CDB, acrescido de solo (Latossolo Amarelo distrófico), descritos da seguinte forma: S1=0% CDB; S2=20% CDB; S3=40% CDB; S4=60% CDB; S5=80% CDB; S6=100% CDB.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of granulated fertilizers based on potassium chloride with humic acids in the production of dry matter and the accumulation of macronutrients in corn plants. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, using soil samples from the 0-20 cm depth layer of a Planossoloháplico.

The purpose of this work is to determine the serum parameters and the hemogram of pigs reared in Côte d'Ivoire. This study involved 70 pigs (Large white, Landrace, Duroc, Pietrain, hybrid, Korhogo pig breeds) made up of 35 castrated males and 35 gilts from 14 farms whose ages vary between 8 and 10 months with an average live weight of 89.1 ± 13.6 kg. These animals, coming mainly from farms in the South, were selected at random. The blood of these animals was collected from the jugular vein in tubes with anticoagulant and tubes without anticoagulant and then analyzed in the laboratory.

L’agriculture périurbaine à travers le maraichage constitue le grenier des grandes villes. Au-delà de cet aspect, elle regorge une filière importante dont le développement suscite de plus en plus d’intérêts. Il s’agit de la floriculture dont l’expansion dans les grandes villes du Sénégal n’est plus négligeable. A Mbour, en raison du tourisme, les pépinières de plantes ornementales prolifèrent dans le département. Toutes de même, le potentiel floristique de ces dites pépinières est peu connu. C’est ainsi que cette étude vise à caractériser la flore ornementale de la zone.
