| Résumé : |
The cereal sector is one of the main sectors of agricultural production in Morocco. It has a significant socio-economic weight, a major social weight for fragile producers, and a major economic weight in national agriculture incomes. However, production is subject to several environmental constraints, namely biotic and abiotic stresses. The combination and interaction of several factors are generally more dangerous than their individual effects. These constraints are more dangerous in dry and hot years. With an average yield of 16 q/ha and a production of 6.5 million tons per year, Morocco is far from food security for this commodity. As a result, Morocco needs to make additional efforts to develop varieties with resistance to diseases and pests, and mainly for drought tolerance, since 75% of the cereal surfaces are in arid and semi-arid regions.
With climate change leading to rainfall reduction and high temperatures, variety recommendation is a very important factor for acceptable wheat production in Morocco. Indeed, short-cycle varieties are most recommended to escape the end-cycle drought. Currently, several varieties are available on the Moroccan market. They are generally drought-tolerant varieties, resistant to some diseases and pests (mainly the Hessian fly). |
