Moringa oleifera leaves production in Burkina Faso is heavily affected by pests, which negatively influence the yield of producers. The aim of this study is to have more information on knowledge of Moringa producers pests controls. A survey was conducted in 16 localities of Burkina Faso with 120 Moringa producers. Data were collected using an interview questionnaire from between July and October 2021 and concerned the socio-demographic characteristics of producers, the farms characteristics the production objective, the production constraints, the foliar insect pests and control methods. The results revealed that majority of producers are men (61%). The leaves are the most. The leaves of Moringa are the most produced. According to 72.50% of producers, insects pests are the primary constraint to Moringa production. To control these insects, 71% of surveyed use bioinsecticides. Azadiractica indica are used by more than half of the producers for the preparation of these bioinsecticides. The chi2 test showed that the methods of control of foliar insect pests were related to the production objectives (chi2 = 21.02, ddl = 8, p <0.01). The biplot of the multiple component analysis showed that leaves producers use the bioinsecticides and the seed producers use both synthetic chemical insecticides and bioinsecticides to control insects pests. To improve yields, integrated pest management methods must be developed in order to further promote sustainable production of Moringa leaves in Burkina Faso.

Abstract
Moringa oleifera leaves production in Burkina Faso is heavily affected by pests, which negatively influence the yield of producers. The aim of this study is to have more information on knowledge of Moringa producers pests controls. A survey was conducted in 16 localities of Burkina Faso with 120 Moringa producers. Data were collected using an interview questionnaire from between July and October 2021 and concerned the socio-demographic characteristics of producers, the farms characteristics the production objective, the production constraints, the foliar insect pests and control methods. The results revealed that majority of producers are men (61%). The leaves are the most. The leaves of Moringa are the most produced. According to 72.50% of producers, insects pests are the primary constraint to Moringa production. To control these insects, 71% of surveyed use bioinsecticides. Azadiractica indica are used by more than half of the producers for the preparation of these bioinsecticides. The chi2 test showed that the methods of control of foliar insect pests were related to the production objectives (chi2 = 21.02, ddl = 8, p <0.01). The biplot of the multiple component analysis showed that leaves producers use the bioinsecticides and the seed producers use both synthetic chemical insecticides and bioinsecticides to control insects pests. To improve yields, integrated pest management methods must be developed in order to further promote sustainable production of Moringa leaves in Burkina Faso.
