Abstract:

In order to lay the scientific foundations for the valorisation of the Spinacia oleracea L species, a prospecting collection of accessions was carried out in the previous studies. The survey enabled to build up a collection of sixteen (16) accessions and to record farmers’ practices for managing the species. The general objective of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the features of spinach produced in Burkina Faso. Specifically, it has been about assessing the morphological variability of the accessions collected. The agro-morphological evaluation of these accessions, carried out with five (05) qualitative and eight(08) quantitative variables, revealed a high degree of variability. It also revealed a structuring of the accessions into four (04) groups and the fourth group has a high-performance accessions with yields (1640 g) which is interesting for a programme of valorisation and improvement of the spinach in Burkina Faso.


Keywords: Spinacia oleracea L, genetic variability, agro-morphological variability, Burkina Faso
