Abstract
In order to contribute to the effective management of guinea sorrel insect pests in C?te d\'Ivoire, a study was carried out on 6 sites producing this plant in the District of Korhogo in the north of the country. The objective of this study was to inventory the insect pests of this plant and to evaluate the farmers\' methods of managing these pests. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 99 female producers and pests were collected using mowing nets. A total of 2906 insects, divided into 8 Orders dominated by Coleoptera and 49 families outperformed by Alticinae, subfamily of Chrysomelidae were collected. A total of 27 types of pesticides were used by producers. These were mostly indicated for cotton cultivation but not for market gardening. Of the five (5) pesticide application methods used by farmers, the broom with 75.73% was the most used. Finally, this study claims that the flea beetle Podagridasp is the main pest of sorrel and phytosanitary practices for this plant in the said District are not indicated.
