Abstract: The rural town of Tabalak is an area where market gardening is frequently confronted with pest attacks such as red spider mites, white flies, tome worms, Tuta absoluta, weeds and nematodes, which contribute significantly to reducing the risk of disease. Performance. In order to find solutions to all these problems, market gardeners in this area use a variety of pesticides. During this work, the diversity of pesticides is addressed. The general objective is to have a general idea of the pesticides used by market gardeners in the Tabalak pond. To achieve this objective, exploratory talks with all stakeholders (producers, pesticide vendors, CDA etc) were carried out. The results found show, in total, sixteen (16) synthetic pesticides have been identified. Of the total pesticides, only seven are registered by the Sahelian Pesticide Committee and only two pesticides (Capt 88 EC, ACARUIS 18 EC) have not expired. These results are a good indicator for technical services in decision-making.
