Aims: Evaluation of the biochemical and microbiological characterization Parkia biglobosa seeds added with wood ash during fermentation for preparation "soumbala" (traditional condiment used across West Africa).
 Study Design: Food safety
 Methodology: 32 soumbala samples due to eight per commune were collected in markets Dimbokro (city center Côte d'Ivoire) three communes from Abidja...

The objective of the study was to determine whether Parkia platycephala families with superior morphophysiological traits perform consistently across four stages early development (plantlets, seedlings, and juveniles at 34 60 months), as a means assess possibility conducting pre-selection. For 21 traits, following genetic parameters were estimated: heritability, coefficients variation (genetic,...

In Burkina Faso, Senna occidentalis, Ipomoea eriocarpa, Pupalia lappacea and Triumfetta cordifolia are frequent weeds in the maize crop. This work evaluated inhibitory effect of Parkia biglobosa pods Tephrosia purpurea leaves identifies their chemical compounds. Biological approaches were used to identify weeds. The powders was on weed germination growth. Experimental results showed that reduce...

The anti-oxidative activities of sequentially extracted solvent fractions of different parts of P. biglobosa were evaluated in a series of in vitro assays. Our findings indicated that all extracts had electron donating and free radical scavenging activities. But the ethanol (EtOH) extracts from all the parts demonstrated more promising anti-oxidative effects in these experimental models. Apart ...

The incidence of resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents by microbial pathogens demands increased effort in the development of effective ways of treating infections and diseases. The n-hexane fraction of lyophilized crude bark extract of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) was prepared and, in combination with selected antibiotics, assayed for antimicrobial activity against some selected bacteria...

This paper presents the methodology developed by the association of Mineração Rio do Norte S.A. with Embrapa/Agrobiologia and the Soil Department of Federal University of Viçosa to promote revegetation of tailings ponds from bauxite mining in Porto Trombetas, Para State, Brazil. The tailings have a fine texture (77% clay), are low in nutrients, have low pH (4.5) and high Pfixation capacity. Thi...

Trees contribution in improving soil carbon is well established, but few works addressed how this was affected by a climatic gradient. This research investigated effects of Vitellaria paradoxa C. F Gaertn and Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Benth on total parklands along rainfall gradient for recommendations tree species which better improve under specific conditions adaptation to climate change. Tota...
