Introduction. Mango-based orchards in Senegal occur in a large diversity ofcropping systems, but few typologies of these systems exist and none are associated withtheir comprehensive and quantitative analysis. In this study we defined and characterizedthe typology of these systems based on a quantitative assessment of their planting design,management, vegetative state, hedgerow structure and infestation by a major pest of mango,the Bactrocera invadens fly. Materials and methods.Multivariate analysis and clustering methods were applied to data from 64 mango-basedorchards and their surrounding hedgerows sampled in the Dakar and Thiès regions, inSenegal. Results and discussion. Four types of cropping systems wereidentified according to orchard design and management patterns: (1) ‘No-input mangodiversified orchards’, (2) ‘Low-input mango orchards’, (3) ‘Medium-inputcitrus-predominant orchards’ and (4) ‘Medium-input large mango- or citrus-predominantorchards’. Orchard characteristics varied among these patterns. For instance, vegetationwas dense and homogeneous in system 1, and the mortality rate of trees was high insystem 2 but low in system 3. Orchards of systems 3 and 4 were mostly associated withhedgerows with, respectively, boundary-marking and defensive species. Lastly, the numberof B. invadens flies was high in orchards of system 4, whereas it was lowin those of system 2. Conclusion. The diversity of mango-based croppingsystems in Senegal is now well described and quantified. This characterization is apreliminary step that is essential for further studies aiming to improve these systems.
