Centre du riz pour l’Afrique (AfricaRice)

Lancement d’un projet en vue d’exploiter le potentiel rizicole des bas-fonds africains

Oiseaux et adventices

Partout dans le monde, les oiseaux affamés s’attaquent aux grains mûrs et occasionnent des dégâts; cependant, ils font l’objet de peu d’études de la part des chercheurs. Les paysans sénégalais ont dit aux chercheurs d’AfricaRice que les oiseaux et les adventices étaient leurs deux principaux ennemis du riz.

Les paysans ont une connaissance approfondie des oiseaux. Dans une étude paysanne menée par AfricaRice près de Saint Louis, Sénégal, les paysans ont déclaré que les oiseaux réduisent effectivement les récoltes, surtout lorsque les champs sont enherbés. Selon les paysans, les adventices mûrissent avant le riz, et les oiseaux aiment manger les graines d’adventices. Les oiseaux ne mangent le riz que lorsqu’il n’y a plus d’adventices. Les paysans ont déclaré que “si je gère mes adventices, j’ai moins d’attaques d’oiseaux”.
