Inventaire des bioagresseures du safran dans la région de Ghardaïa

Abstract

The study of the inventory of saffron bioaggressors in the Ghardaïa region has revealed a remarkable diversity among these harmful organisms, whether they take the form of diseases in their various forms, with approximately 5621 individuals in the insect category, or as mammals where we identified about 5 different species, as well as in the category of weeds with 89 individuals. The results of this research were discussed by comparing them to those of other researchers, emphasizing the importance of managing these pests, which have a negative impact on the Crocus sativus crop, both in terms of yield and quality. Furthermore, this study provides essential information for farmers and individuals interested in saffron cultivation by highlighting this diversity of harmful organisms. This encourages the implementation of preventive measures to protect saffron crops from potential disruptions.
