Rice traits preferred by farmers and their perceptions of rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) disease in Cascades Region of Burkina Faso
A participatory research appraisal (PRA) was conducted in ten villages of the Cascades Region of Burkina Faso. Group discussions and individual interviews were employed. A total of 212 farmers including 176 women and 36 men were interviewed on their rice cropping management, the rice traits they...

| description | A participatory research appraisal (PRA) was conducted in ten villages of the Cascades Region of
Burkina Faso. Group discussions and individual interviews were employed. A total of 212 farmers
including 176 women and 36 men were interviewed on their rice cropping management, the rice traits
they preferred, and their perception on rice diseases with a focus on rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV).
Taste, yield, grain quality, and cooking qualities were amongst the most valued traits. The taste was the
paramount trait valued by farmers in their selection criteria. Moreover, taste is the reason why farmers
still favour their local rice cultivars. The PRA also revealed that RYMV was the most damaging disease
across the villages. Farmers recognised the disease through its symptoms (leaf yellowing, plant
stunting, sterility, necrosis, and plant death). However, farmers were ignorant of the cause of RYMV
disease. Resistant or tolerant varieties against RYMV were identified by farmers, and all belonged to the
Oryza glaberrima species. |
