Abstract
In Central Africa sub region, Phragmanthera capitata (Sprengel) S. Balle (Loranthaceae) is better adapted to the conditions of environment modified by man. This species causes often considerable loss of harvests. Struggle methods used in the littoral region of Cameroon against P. capitata are manual removal of tufts and the “ethephon” chemical struggle. Impacts of these promising struggle methods used are discussed. Agroecology which favours fauna and flora of all in improving the agricultural productions is proposed for the sustainable development.
Key words: Phragmanthera capitata, struggle methods, impacts, agroecology.
