Pest control, productivity, and profitability improvement of associated crops in organic banana cropping systems in Benin, West Africa
In Africa, mixed cropping and intercropping are widely practiced, boosting the provision of ecosystem services such as improved pest control, nutrient cycling, and systems profitability. This study aimed at characterizing the role of associated crops in organic banana and plantain cropping systems a...

| description | In Africa, mixed cropping and intercropping are widely practiced, boosting the provision of ecosystem services such as improved pest control, nutrient cycling, and systems profitability. This study aimed at characterizing the role of associated crops in organic banana and plantain cropping systems and investigating their contribution to pest control and improved productivity of the system. The type of associated crops, crop productivity/profitability, and arthropod communities were assessed in 12 organic banana farmer’s fields randomly selected. The attractiveness potential of predator arthropods in the plots of three vegetable species and cowpea associated with organic plantains was evaluated using an experimental site. In total, 2112 arthropod specimens were collected in organic banana farms including 975 individuals of predatory arthropods. The abundance of several predators including seven-spot ladybird
Coccinella septempunctata
, staphylinids
Staphylinus
sp., ants
Camponotus
sp., spiders
Araneus
sp. and some herbivore species variegated locust
Zonocerus variegatus
and vegetable leafminer
Liriomyza sativae
was manly observed in the gardens. The abundance of the three pest herbivores
Chaetanaphothrips
, Southern Green Stink Bug
Nezara viridula,
and
Diabrotica virgifera
were lower in the presence of associated plant species. Mixed gardens (or intercrops) had a significant effect on the overall productivity and financial profitability of the banana and plantain cropping systems. Groundnut and banana and plantain associations had the highest average gross margin per hectare followed by association with maize. In the experimental site, the predator abundance was highest on
Vernonia amygdalina
followed by
Vigna unguiculata
and
Ocimum gratissimum.
These Findings show out interesting banana and crop association which could help to implement strategies for sustainable ecological pest management. |
