With this in mind, a study on the adaptability of rubber trees to new agro-morphopedological zones was conducted in the departments of Man and Toumodi. The methodology used to achieve this objective is the realization of pedological pits coupled with physico-chemical laboratory analyses. The open soil profiles reveal that the soils belong mainly to the Ferralsols class with distinctive characteristics, except for those of Kimoukro which belong to the Cambisols class. The Toumodi soils, with a _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Corresponding author: Email: [email protected]; Antoine et al.; IJPSS, 33(16): 156-169, 2021; Article no.IJPSS.70266 sandy-clay texture (15-35% clay), have a high content of coarse sand (over 40%) and good internal drainage in the surface horizons. They are less dense (≤ 1 g/cm3), with a high coarse element load (40%). These soils are chemically rich with a slightly acidic pH. For the Man soils, the sandy-clay texture, with more than 50% clay, from surface to depth, was the most representative fraction. The coarse element load (≥ 50%) and bulk density (≥ 1.5 g/cm3) were more important. These strongly acidic soils are rich in nitrogen and carbon. Exchangeable bases and CEC are important, mainly, in the upper horizons. In addition, the soil profiles observed in these two departments revealed two major pedogenetic processes: reworking and rejuvenation. At the agronomic level, vegetative growth and rubber production of rubber trees were better in Man than in Toumodi. The physico- chemical characteristics of the soils indicate that the departments of Man and Toumodi are favorable for rubber cultivation, although the soils in Man department are more suitable for cultivation.

It should also be noted that the master plan for the development of the rubber sector The rubber tree, with the scientific name Hevea foresees a production of about two million tons of brasiliensis Muell Arg. (Euphorbiaceae), is a fruit natural rubber over the next five years, and thus tree, with a height of more than 30 meters and a consolidate its dominant position in Africa. To circumference of 1 to 5 meters at maturity [1]. It reach this goal and meet the ever-increasing originates from the Amazon basin in Brazil [2-3]. demand for natural rubber, two strategies can be This species, which can be continuously tapped, adopted and consider joining the top three is cultivated for its latex, whose rubber producers in the world. The first is to improve composition makes it easier to process, with a rubber productivity in traditional growing areas by yield that is significantly higher than that of any optimizing latex harvesting systems in other known latex plant species [4]. Global plantations, appropriate replanting techniques natural rubber production in 2018 is estimated at and by selecting better performing clones that over 13 million tonnes [5], of which 88% is are better adapted to local environmental produced in Asia and 6% in Africa. Rubber conditions. The second strategy consists of cultivation in Côte d'Ivoire has developed extending the rubber cultivation areas to non- spectacularly over the past few decades due to traditional zones, described as marginal. These the subsidy of rubber plant production by the so-called marginal areas are characterized, on Hevea Development Fund (FDH), the increase in the one hand, by a significant annual water the purchase price of rubber in the field and, deficit ranging from 400 to 600 mm of water and, above all, the monthly income that it provides. on the other hand, by soils with coarse elements, Rubber occupies an important place in the armourstone slabs or sound rocks at shallow Ivorian agricultural sector, the "engine of depths in some places [7-9]. However, rubber is economic development" of the country, as it a fairly demanding crop in terms of soil, due to its contributes a high proportion of export earnings. taproot system, and in terms of climatic factors, The number of rubber planters increased from notably abundant and well-distributed rainfall 16,500 to 165,000 between 2005 and 2020 [6]. (more than 1600 mm/year on average, [4]). The In the same direction, the cultivated area soil and climatic parameters in these new increased from 74,000 ha to 600,000 ha, an cultivation areas, which are of major importance increase of 810%. This trend is confirmed by the for rubber, could be detrimental to its increase in natural rubber production from establishment, growth and future rubber 170,000 tonnes in 2005 to 949,000 tonnes in production. Therefore, knowledge of these (soil 2020 [6].

Despite this view. This study was therefore initiated to assess performance, rubber cultivation in Côte d'Ivoire is the agricultural potential of soils for rubber faced with increasing pressure from land and cultivation in the administrative departments of parasites (Corynespora spp, Loranthaceae, Man and Toumodi in order to identify the main Fomès lignosus spp, etc.) in traditionally constraints to the productivity of these soils. favourable areas, and also from the ageing of the More specifically, the aim was to evaluate the 157 Antoine et al.; IJPSS, 33(16): 156-169, 2021; Article no.IJPSS.70266 current physical and chemical characteristics of average annual rainfall of about 1700 mm.

For this, the products of the hive must be competitive. The objective of this study is to characterize and verify the floral origin of the honey sold by the Toumodi beekeeping cooperative. The sampling brought the honey intended for sale. The treatment of the samples for pollen analysis was done by acetolysis [1]. The parameters taken into account for the physicochemical analysis are density, PH, water content, ash content, total sugar content (brix degree), electrical conductivity, and total acidity. The values obtained were compared with those recommended by the Codex Alimentarius. The honey from the Toumodi cooperative is multifloral and contains a large number of pollen which confirms its geographical origin, namely the forest-savanna transition zone. They meet international standards and are of good quality. Index Terms- Honey, quality, pollen, analysis, Côte d’Ivoire.

Methods: In this study, the antiplasmodial activity of 21 extracts obtained from seven Article Type: plants of the Anthocleista djalonensis, Original Article Cochlospermum planchonii, Harungana madagascariensis, Hoslundia opposita, Article History: Mangifera indica, Margaritaria discoidea and Pericopsis laxiflora of the Ivorian pharmacopoeia Received: 13 Aug. 2019 was evaluated on the chloroquine sensitive (NF54) and multi-resistant (K1) reference strains and Revised: 30 Oct. 2019 on clinical isolates as well. The technique used was the microtiter method based on fluorescence Accepted: 4 Nov. 2019 reading with SYBR Green. ePublished: 9 May 2020 Results: The aqueous extract of the bark of H. madagascariensis and methanolic extracts of P. Keywords: laxiflora showed the best antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values of 6.16 µg/mL and 7.44 µg/ Traditional pharmacopoeia mL, respectively. On the other hand, extracts of M. indica showed a very moderate activity Antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values between 15 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL (5<IC50<50 µg/mL) on the same strains of P.
