Uncertainty forces the daily lives of small farmers Bushi in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, for over a decade after the banana bacterial wilt has literally broken the economic landscape, social, cultural and ecological region. This study attempts to highlight the socio-economic factors that influence the choice of strategies and practices of farmers face this crisis. The data, both quantitative and qualitative, were collected from 232 farmers in 16 localities of Kabare and Walungu in South Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The result of the econometric analysis shows a correlation between socioeconomic factors and farmers' practices. All things being equal, factors such as age, participation in off-farm activities, experience, size of household, size, membership in the association, access to credit, possession of livestock, traumatic history, the importance of the banana and the severity of the crisis significantly influenced the choice of practices and copings strategies. These results suggest approaches and agricultural and economic stimulus programs that integrate various farmers' logic in the Bushi area to the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This study analyzes the impact of banana bacterial wilt on the income of small farmers in the region Bushi and inventory practices and strategies Started by them to survive in this new context. The data, both quantitative and qualitative, were collected from 232 farmers in 16 localities of Kabare and Walungu in South Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The results show a significant reduction of 59.8% of monthly income per affected operator to be $ 31.1 to $ 52 declared. These economic losses could reach $ 7.2 million a month in the study area the month, 86.4 million annually to the absence of effective control measures. Various levers, non-exclusive, have been developed by agricultural households to survive the crisis. This is, essentially, agricultural diversification, pluriactivity, the use of social support networks to pool risk, the agricultural wage labor, and the use of agricultural innovation. These results suggest approaches and agricultural and economic stimulus programs that integrate various farmers' logic in the Bushi area to the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The study of the insects damaging the crops and vectors of diseases of rice culture in the marshy high land of Bugorhe area in Kabare district in South Kivu province in the East of Democratic Republic of Congo was conducted from August 2012 to December 2013 on the different phases of development of the culture. Samples were collected by means of a harvest spider and a suction device after each three days for a period of three cultural seasons. Information relating to the incidence of insects, frequency and the density of destruction of plants were recorded. The methods of observation and triangulation were adopted at random to select the lots of rice and collect insects. To identify insects, all keys were adopted. Other keys as for comparing species between them, were resorted to determine the number of insects studied, we resorted to the International Rice Research Institute Key. As result we have come up to notice: Insects damaging plants vary in number and quality of the different stages of the growth of rice culture.36 Species of insects have been recorded distributed into 16 families mainly Thripidae, pentatomydae, Coeidae, Cecidomyidae, Diopsidae, Pyralidae, Noctuidae, Acridoidae, Alididae, Delphacidae, Cynipidae, Coccinellidae, Chrysamelidae, Meloidae, Cynipidae, Scarabeidae and 7orders suck as Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Thysanoptera, and Heteroptera. All the varieties of rice were attacked by the diseases of Bacteriosis, Pyriculariosis and the Rice Yellow Monttle Virus (RYMV) at the different stages of development of the plant. Species suck Nephottetis spp, are reported to be responsible of the Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV) and the bacteria as Pseudomonas fuscovaginae and the fugus sarocladium oryzae causes different forms of bacteriosis observed in the rice culture in Bugorhe area.

The study was conducted in the region of Bugorhe whose purpose is to assess where the outbreak of Aphis fabae growing seasons and the method of observation, identification key, Past software and microsoft Excel were used. The duration is 12 weeks during the season of 2011 (September-December) and 2012 (September to December) and the B season of 2012 (February-May). Results show the months of November to October 2011, 2012 and March-April 2012 have a high incidence of black aphids while the months of September to December were lower in 2011, 2012 as February 2012, so the attack of aphids develop especially during dry in August to November and in September-November 2012, while in the rainy season (September 2011, October 2012 and December 2011 and 2012, April 2012), colonies of aphids are dense, destroyed by parasitic fungi Erynia neophides or Neozygites. Larvae or adult beetles and larvae Syrphis help control when they devour pucerons. Thus, the auspicious time of the attacks by black aphids Aphis fabae is dry season cropping seasons (A or B) as Aphis fabae can colonize many cultivated or so spontaneous means of struggle to provide growers with beans in the region Bugorhe plants are based sprays of dimethoate or specific aphicid as pyrimicarb and cultivators of beans are uprooted seedlings of upon detecting virus-infected beans.
