    La cochenille Phenacoccus manihoti est l’une des causes de la chute des rendements du manioc au Gabon. Par la randomisation, nous avons Ă©tudiĂ©  son impact sur la croissance de la plante et sur les rendements du manioc. P. manihoti rĂ©duit la croissance des plants Ă  40%, la distance entrenoeuds  des tiges Ă  45%. Il diminue le nombre, la longueur et le diamètre des tubercules ; respectivement pour le nombre de 7 Ă  4, de 34 Ă  9  cm pour la longueur et de 10 Ă  5 cm pour le diamètre en moyenne. L’action de la cochenille P. manihoti induit ainsi la dimunition de la croissance des  plants et la baisse des rendements du manioc au Gabon. Pour protĂ©ger le manioc contre la cochenille, nous pensons que l’utilisation des  techniques de lutte efficaces est indispensable. Elles pourraient mĂŞme ĂŞtre associĂ©es, dans le cadre d’une lutte intĂ©grĂ©e, excluant complètement la  lutte chimique, Ă  l’origine de beaucoup de problèmes environnementaux. Les auteurs ont enfin attirĂ© l’attention des gouvernements africains sur la  nĂ©cessitĂ© de promouvoir les politiques de dĂ©veloppement agricole dans leurs pays. English title: Impact of the mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (homoptera, pseudococcidae) on the yields of the cassava (Manihot esculenta) in Gabon The mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti is one of the causes in the drop of cassava yields in Gabon. Through the randomization, we have studied its  impact on the growth of the plant and on the yields of the cassava. P. manihoti reduces the growth of the plants to 40%, the interval among knots of  the stems to 45%. Its diminishes the number, the length and the diameter of the tubercules, respectively for the number of 7 to 4; of 34 to 9cm for  the length and for 10 to 5cm for the average diameter. Thus, the share of the mealybug P. manihoti induces the lessening of the growth of the plants  and the drop of the cassava yields in Gabon. For protect the cassava against the mealybug we think that the using of the efficient fight  techniques is indispensable. They must even be assoociated in integrated fight excuding completely the chemical fight which induces meny  environemental problems. At last the authors have attracted the car of the african governments abut the necessity to upgrade the agricultural  development politics in theirs contries.&nbsp

    Biodiversity and conservation genetics research in central Africa: new approaches and avenues for international collaboration

    A five-day international workshop was recently convened at the Université des Sciences et Techniques de Masuku in Gabon to enhance international collaboration among Central African, US and European scientists, conservation professionals and policy makers. The overall aims of the workshop were to: (1) discuss emerging priorities in biodiversity and conservation genetics research across Central Africa, and (2) create new networking opportunities among workshop participants. Here we provide a brief overview of the meeting, outline the major recommendations that emerged from it, and provide information on new networking opportunities through the meeting web site. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
