This study was initiated to evaluate the effects of the combined use of organic fertilizers and micro-dose fertilization on the agronomic and economic performance of maize cultivation. The trial was conducted in a completely randomized Fisher block design with 4 repetitions and 9 treatments: T0 (micro-dose) NPK 62.5kg/ha+ Urea 62.5kg/ha, T1 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ mulch+ zaï), T2 (micro-dose+ 5t/ha manure+ mulch+ zaï), T3 (micro dose+ 5t/ha compost+ Moringa extract+ mulch+ zaï), T4 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ Magnesium sulfate+ mulch+ zaï), T5 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ Liquid fertilizer+ mulch+ zaï), T6 (Micro-dose+5t/ha manure+ Moringa extract+ mulch+ zaï), T7 (micro-dose+5t/ha manure+ Magnesium sulfate+ mulch+ zaï) and T8 (micro-dose + 5t/ha manure + liquid fertilizer + mulch + zaï). Fertilizers and crops were also the subject of an economic evaluation to see their profitability. The economic evaluation showed that the T7 treatment gave the best margin which varied between -4185 and 309535 FCFA/ha depending on the selling prices of corn which can vary from 135 to 250 FCFA/kg. However, the RV/C of all treatments was less than 1.5 and would therefore be subject to rejection if they were offered to producers. In view of these results, we suggest that a socio-economic assessment be made between conventional and agroecological production by integrating the social and environmental dimensions to measure the impacts.

Cette étude a été initiée pour évaluer les effets de l’utilisation combinée de fertilisants biologiques et de la fertilisation micro-dose sur la performance agronomique et économique de la culture du maïs. L’essai a été conduit dans un dispositif en blocs de Fisher complétement randomisé avec 4 répétitions et 9 traitements: T0 (micro-dose) NPK 62,5kg/ha+Urée 62,5kg/ha, T1 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ paillage+ zaï), T2 (micro-dose+ 5t/ha fumier+ paillage+ zaï), T3 (micro-dose+ 5t/ha compost+ Extrait de moringa+ paillage+ zaï), T4 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ Sulfate de magnésium+ paillage+ zaï), T5 (micro-dose+5t/ha compost+ Engrais liquide+ paillage+ zaï), T6 (Micro-dose+5t/ha fumier+ Extrait de moringa+ paillage+ zaï), T7 (micro-dose+5t/ha fumier+ Sulfate de magnésium+ paillage+ zaï) et T8 (micro-dose+5t/ha fumier+ Engrais liquide+ paillage+ zaï). Les fumures et les cultures ont fait l’objet d’une évaluation économique pour voir leurs rentabilités. L’évaluation économique a permis de montrer que le traitement T7 a donné la meilleure marge qui a varié entre -4185 et 309 535 FCFA/ha en fonction des prix de vente du maïs qui peuvent varier de 135 à 250 FCFA/kg. Cependant, le RV/C de tous les traitements était inférieur à 1,5 et feront donc l’objet de rejet s’ils étaient proposés aux producteurs. Au regard de ces résultats, nous suggérons de faire une évaluation socioéconomique entre la production conventionnelle et la production agroécologique en intégrant les dimensions sociale et environnementale pour mesurer les impacts.
