Résumé :	Abstract— Food security and poverty alleviation has remained the primary agenda in the Western Africa regional food policies, and Senegal is no exception. Field pests that attack crops are among the greatest threat to increased food production. The subsistence farmers in the rural communities in Senegal rarely use synthetic pesticides in the field due to the high cost and availability issues. Therefore, some rely on the use of botanical pesticides and other natural methods of pest control. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted using semi-structured questionnaires and participatory interviews with 184 farmers. The anti-pest plants documented included 35 species in 21 families. A factorial correspondence analysis of the data (grains and plants species) allowed the identification of two groups of plants species and stored products. The plants were divided into 21 families (Combretaceae, Annonaceae, Fabaceae, Pedaliaceae, Burseraceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Capparaceae, Anacardiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Poaceae, Labiatae, Meliaceae, Araliaceae, Apocynaceae, Acanthaceae, Asteraceae, Celastraceae, Solanaceae, Vitaceae, Piperaceae and Mimosaceae) where the Cesalpiniaceae and Meliaceae were widely used. The plant parts mostly used were the leaves and fruit. This collection of plants specified in the fight against the stored product pests can be a database for advanced studies (bioassay and phytochemical analysis).
