The wild hosts of Achaea catocaloides Guenée, in the cacao crops, in the departments of Toumodi and Taabo, have been inventoried on thirty surveys in order to identify them and propose effective control strategies against this new enemy of cocoa-culture. Phytosociological studies have been conducted to achieve these objectives. At the end of this work, 61 species were identified. They can be divided into 55 genera and 32 botanical families. Euphorbiaceae and Fabaceae are the most represented families. Nineteen species have a higher frequency 80 p.c. Vines and tree species are most numerous because the agro-forestry practiced in the area. The synthesis of the results allowed proposing short-term and long-term control strategies. In the immediate future some big trees should be cut as they are the host of these insects while the long- term control strategy is essentially preventive.

Abstract: (french)
Les hôtes sauvages de Achaea catocaloides Guenée, dans les cultures de cacaoyer, dans les départements de Toumodi et Taabo, ont été recensés sur trente relevés afin de les identifier et proposer des moyens de luttes efficaces contre ce nouvel ennemi de la cacao-culture. Des études phytosociologiques ont été menées pour atteindre ces objectifs. Au terme de ce travail, 61 espèces ont été identifiées. Elles se répartissent en 55 genres et 32 familles botaniques. Les familles des Euphorbiaceae et Fabaceae sont les plus représentées. Dix-neuf espèces ont une fréquence supérieure à 80 p.c. Les lianes et les espèces arborescentes sont les plus nombreuses du fait de la sylviculture pratiquée dans la zone. La synthèse des résultats a permis de proposer des moyens de lutte à court terme et à long terme. Dans l’immédiat, il s’agit de couper certains grands arbres portes d’entrée de ces insectes alors que la lutte à longue terme est essentiellement préventive.
