Attacks by Termites (Blattoptera: Insecta) in cassava crops (Manioth esculenta Crantz.) in Daloa (Center-West, Côte d’Ivoire)

A study was carried out on the attack of termites in three cassava plots located zone Daloa (town center-west Côte d’Ivoire). The main objective this to ensure a sustainable productivity region by controlling termite’s pests crops according phenological stage, namely: plot at small stalk tuber production stage and harvest stage. To end, systematic excavations were sections along transects plant-by-plant sampling order inventory different species highlight damage they cause. This made it possible identify 4 termites: Odontotermes sp., Macrotermes bellicosus, Pseudacanthotermes militaris Nasutitermes latifrons, which 1 is common all environments. comparative analysis environments showed that are most colonized termites. sp. observed only as well latifrons present best represented plots.
