A Characterization of the Soil Resource of the Research Station At
A CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SOIL RESOURCE OF THE RESEARCH STATION AT FERKESSEDOUGOU (NORTHERN COTE D 9 IVOIRE) WITH RESPECTS TO SUITABILITY OF IITA 9 S MAIZE SAVANNA SUBSTATION. Consultancy report for IITA, IBADAN, NIGERIA Christian VALENTIN Soil Scientist ORSTOM, B.P. V-51, ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE September 1988 A CHARACTERlZATlON OF THE SOIL RESOURCE OF THE RESEARCH STATION AT FERKESSEDOUGOU (NORTHERN COTE D'IVOIRE) WlTH RESPECTS TO SUITABlLlTY OF lITA'S MAIZE SAVANNA SUBSTATION. Christian VALENTIN I. INTRODUCTION In 1982, maize was the first cereal cropped in Côte d'Ivoire in terms of production (470,000 metric tons), before paddy (420,000 tons) ( MOYAL, 1988a). Due to the rapid growth of population, this production will have to be doubled before the end of the century. Research must therefore be strengthened for increased maize production. This meets the mandate of lITA (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture) which conducts research in partnership wi th the National Agricultural Research Services. One of its recently developed program strategies is to establish small research substations in the key ecological zones of West and Central Africa such as the moist savanna zone which includes almost 45 percent of the coastal West Africa, but only 30 percent of the population of the region. With a growing period ranging from 150 to 240 days, intense solar radiation during the growing season, this well-endowed region is supposed to have the greatest potential for future maize production. In order to deal adequately with the research priorities of this environment and to produce technological advances that are appropriate to the farming systems of the region, a research substation will have been established in this region by 1989.

To this end, research was conducted involving 257 people belonging to 12 different ethnic groups in seven departments ofthe north of the Cote d'Ivoire [Ivory Coast]. The results of these investigations clearly demonstrate the socio economic importance ofshea trees to the local populations of the zone investigated. Some ethnic groups prove to have a very good botanical knowledge of the species and its qualities and have developed systems of management of shea orchards that could facilitate the domestication and conservation of the species. In addition to the commercial use of the kernel and of shea butter on local and regional markets, many other parts of the shea tree and derived products (roots, leaves, peels, oilcakes, latexes and even mistletoes are used for a range of different purposes by rural communities in Cote d'Ivoire [the Ivory Coast].
