Influence of agrarian systems on the natural regeneration dynamics of karite: Vitellaria paradoxa CF gaernt (Sapotaceae) in Ivory Coast

The shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is one of the wild species of socioeconomic and environmental interest, valued by the local populations of Sudanese and Guinean savannas of Africa. To promote the development of management strategies in the context of the resource, the ecological survey was carried out, in order to assess the influence of agrarian systems on the regeneration dynamics of this naturally-occurring species. The survey was undertaken in 40 sampling units, distributed in two savannah regions of Cote d'Ivoire. The results showed that shea natural regeneration dynamics varied from one area to the other. Under fallow systems, the number of young plantations was 960 in Tengrela, against 636 in Korhogo localities. similarly, in the fields, this number was 373 for young plantations in Tengrela, against 45 in Korhogo, using the same sample size. The number of young plants varied according to plant. Indeed, the number of young plantations inventoried in the two areas was 1596 in the fallows against 418 in the fields. Likewise, the number of adult trees was 2.5 times more important in the fall than in the farmed fields. In the sampling unit, located in the fields, Shea young plantations densities were 55% in the manual system, 39% in the harmonized system and 6% in the towed system. For the same area sampled, the number of adult trees was 51, 20, and 13 in the manual, harnessed and towed systems, respectively. These differences show the influence of human activities on the natural regeneration of the shea tree. the number of young plantations inventoried in the two zones was 1596 in the fallows against 418 in the fields. Likewise, the number of adult trees was 2.5 times more important in the fall than in the farmed fields. In the sampling unit, located in the fields, Shea young plantations densities were 55% in the manual system, 39% in the harmonized system and 6% in the towed system. For the same area sampled, the number of adult trees was 51, 20, and 13 in the manual, harnessed and towed systems, respectively. These differences show the influence of human activities on the natural regeneration of the shea tree. the number of young plantations inventoried in the two zones was 1596 in the fallows against 418 in the fields. Likewise, the number of adult trees was 2.5 times more important in the fall than in the farmed fields. In the sampling unit, located in the fields, Shea young plantations densities were 55% in the manual system, 39% in the harmonized system and 6% in the towed system. For the same area sampled, the number of adult trees was 51, 20, and 13 in the manual, harnessed and towed systems, respectively. These differences show the influence of human activities on the natural regeneration of the shea tree. Shea young plantations were 55% in the manual system, 39% in the harmed system and 6% in the towed system. For the same area sampled, the number of adult trees was 51, 20, and 13 in the manual, harnessed and towed systems, respectively. These differences show the influence of human activities on the natural regeneration of the shea tree. Shea young plantations were 55% in the manual system, 39% in the harmed system and 6% in the towed system. For the same area sampled, the number of adult trees was 51, 20, and 13 in the manual, harnessed and towed systems, respectively. These differences show the influence of human activities on the natural regeneration of the shea tree.
