Impact of insecticide and pollinator-enhancing substrate applications on cocoa (Theobroma cacao) cherelle and pod production in Côte d’Ivoire

2020-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Cocoa yield in the major cocoa-producing countries is far below potential levels. It has been shown that apart from poor soil fertility, inadequate genotypes and pest and disease incidence, this yield gap is caused by below-optimum pollination levels. On 3 Ivorian cocoa farms, during the six months preceding the main harvest season of 2018–2019 (August 2018 until January 2019), we used generalized mixed models to...
