Abstract

The occupation of earth, dominated by the peasant fields of Obama cassava in forest zone on the Yakonde set (Y2) in Yangambi in Congolese central pan (RDC), change quickly and the forest fragmentation bound to the roving agriculture on the giblets-burnt lands became one of the processes dominating the landscape dynamics. In addition to the machete and the ax, fire remained for the agriculturists of the region an excellent means to get rid of the cut vegetation and also to lead physical and chemical modifications quickly in the superficial layers of soil. To put in evidence, the evolution of the values of the C/N report of soil in report to those of the severity of the brunette groove of cassava (SBM) that rages currently in Yangambi (CWAVE project), three agrosystèmes of the Yakonde set (Y2) have been chosen: the secondary forest (FS), the forest recrû (RF) and the grassy fallow (JH). In every in every different type of forests, an extent of 50m x 50m was there cut, arranged and without use of fire and the cuttings healthy and infected of SBM of the cassava of the Obama variety have been planted in lines simple oriented north-south in under-parcels in repeated at random two blocks. In 19 pedological pits of the experimental site, 76 pedological samples have been appropriated in two slices of soil: 0 - 20 cm and 20 - 40 cm of depth. The total organic nitrogen of soil has been measured out by the Kjeldhal method and the carbon, by the method to the bichromate of potassium by humid way and to cold weather (Kombele, 2004, Kakuni, 2020). as for the severity of SBM, she/it has been determined by observations on symptomatic leaves and without the symptoms according to the methods of Sseruwagi and al. (2005) and Mware and al. (2009). The results gotten to four months of age of Obama cassava show that the middle values of the C/N are raised more in the grassy fallow (JH) with 8,76±3,43 and a severity of the SBM of 2,7, consistent of those of the secondary forest (FS) with 7,26±3,37 the C/N and a severity of the SBM of 2,4, those of the forest recrû (RF) with 5,28±3,02 the C/N and a severity of the SBM of 2,1.

Abstract

The objective pursued in this work is to try to put in evidence the ecological role of the cassava culture installed by no burning of the biomass on the management of the stock of total organic carbon of soil. Thus, an extent of 0,48 ha has been delimited and has been subdivided in 24 parcels in which were installed 24 pedological pits and where 48 samples of soil that means 24 samples no - unsettled and 24 unsettled others, were appropriated in the slices of 0-20 and 20-40 cm of depth these samples served for the determination of the total organic matter, the total organic carbon, the obvious density and of the stock in carbon of soil to seven months of age of the culture of five varieties of cassava. Five cultivars of cassava to know Disanka, Obama, Zizila, Me vuazi and Nsansi have been installed in a fallow forest enhancement by no - incineration of the biomass and an old secondary forest taken like reference, situated in the Yakonde set (Y2) in the Tray Isalowe in Yangambi, RD Congo. The results gotten during our experimentation reveals a relative an impact in the management of the stock of soil carbon by the different cultivars of cassava, with the exception of the Zizila varieties (T3) and Nsansi (T5) in relation to the old secondary forest taken like witness even though that, the analyses statistical attest non meaningful differences between the worth of carbon stock observed so much in soil under the different varieties of cassava that under the old secondary forest. Nevertheless, the no - incineration decorated the most suitable fashion of enhancement of soil in general in the optics of the lasting management of the stock of organic carbon of soil in the agrosystèmes of the tropics and of the region of Yangambi in particular.
