Abstract

This study consists of using the cocoa bean teguments as a means of sustainable production growth and environmental preservation. It aims to characterize the effects of the teguments on the chemical properties of a Ferralsol in Ahoué (Côte d'Ivoire). In an experimental block design of Fisher, three treatments of Cocoa bean teguments: T1 (10 t.ha-1), T2 (15 t.ha-1), T3 (20 t.ha-1) and one Control T0 have been set up with four repetitions. The main results show that the contribution of cocoa bean teguments has a positive effect on all the characteristics studied. The values obtained of the pH of the T0 and the T1, T2, T3 indicates, respectively 4.2; 5.4; 5.5 and 5.8. As regards the contents of the CEC, the values obtained give: 2.32; 7.2; 11.44 and 12.5 cmol.kg-1, respectively, for T0, T1, T2 and T3 treatments. As for the organic matter, the contents obtained indicate the following values: T0 = 12.56 g.kg-1; T1 = 26.49 g.kg-1; T2 = 35.09 g.kg-1 and T3 = 38.08 g.kg-1. The data corresponding to the sum of the captions oscillated between 4.5 and 10.5 cmol.kg-1 according to the treatments.
