Market gardening is emerging as a credible alternative for crop diversification. The objective of this article is to characterize the market gardening practiced at in rainy season. The methodology adopted consisted to question the farmers and to prospect of vegetable production basins. The sampling concerned 102 farmers who represent more than 20% of the target population. The data collected was includ to descriptive and analytical analyzes. The result shows that fruit-vegetables are the main crops grown. The pure cultivation of cabbage, peppers or tomatoes, is by far the most favored by farm managers. The main irrigation system used by rainy market gardeners is made up of boreholes (86% of market gardeners), motor pumps (93.14%) and pipes (69.65%). The analysis of cultural practices reveals a strong application of maintenance manure (85.29%) and phytosanitary chemicals (95.09%). In addition, the factorial analysis of the mixed data reveals four groups of wintering market gardening operations with a total variance explained at 67.36%. The first group is made up of intensive and specialized market gardening operations with an internal variance rate of 31.07%. The second group is represented by diversified vegetable farms favoring the practice of associated crops with an internal variance of 29.74%. The third group says socio-organized farms (22.75% of the internal variance), favoring crop rotation. The fourth type is called the group of extensive farms.

Abstract: (french)
Le maraichage s’impose comme étant une alternative crédible de diversification des cultures. L’objectif de cet article est de caractériser le maraichage pratiqué à une période inhabituelle à savoir l’hivernage. Pour ce faire, la méthodologie adoptée a consisté en l’administration de questionnaires individuels et la prospection des bassins de production maraichère d’hivernage. L’échantillonnage a permis d’enquêter 102 chefs d’exploitation maraichères d’hivernage; soit un peu plus de 20% de la population cible. Les données collectées ont été soumises à des analyses descriptives et analytiques. Il résulte que les légumes-fruits sont les principales spéculations mises en culture. La culture pure du chou, du poivron ou de la tomate, est de loin la plus privilégiée par les chefs d’exploitation. Le principal système d’irrigation utilisé par les maraichers d’hivernage, est composé de forage (86% des maraichers), de motopompes (93,14%) et de tuyaux (69,65%). L’analyse des pratiques culturales, révèle une forte application de la fumure d’entretien (85,29 %) et des produits chimiques phytosanitaires (95,09 %). Par ailleurs, l’analyse factorielle des données mixtes fait ressortir quatre groupes d’exploitation maraichère d’hivernage avec une variance totale expliquée à 67,36%. Le premier groupe est formé d’exploitations maraichères intensives et spécialisées avec un taux de variance interne de 31,07%. Le deuxième groupe est représenté par des exploitations maraichères diversifiées favorisant la pratique des cultures associées avec une variance interne de 29,74 %. Le troisième groupe dit des exploitations socio organisées (22,75% de la variance interne), favorisant l’assolement. Le quatrième type dit groupe des exploitations extensives.
