Groundwater, an invaluable resource crucial for irrigation and drinking purposes, significantly impacts human health societal advancement. This study aims to evaluate the groundwater quality in Mnasra region of Gharb Plain, employing a comprehensive analysis thirty samples collected from various locations, based on thirty-three physicochemical parameters. Utilizing tools like Pollution Index Groundwater (PIG), Nitrate (NPI), Water Quality (WQI), Irrigation (IWQI), as well Multivariate...

The productivity and resilience of durum wheat have been enhanced through the selection accessions, optimizing agronomic quality traits to address environmental challenges. This study investigates inter-group genetic diversity 219 including 120 elite lines from a national breeding program, 63 international lines, 27 Moroccan varieties, 9 landraces. Trials were conducted at Jemâa Shaïm experimental station (INRA-Morocco) with an "Alpha lattice" design two replications....

Accurate assessment of soil quality is crucial for sustainable agriculture and conservation. Thus, this study aimed to assess in the agricultural ecosystem Mnasra region within Gharb Plain Morocco, employing a comprehensive approach integrating multivariate analysis geostatistical techniques. Thirty samples were collected from surface layers across thirty selected sites. The results showed significant variations properties area, influenced by factors such as texture, parent material,...

Assessing groundwater quality is essential for ensuring the sustainability of agriculture and ecosystems. This study evaluates contamination by heavy metals (HMs) using GIS approaches, multivariate statistical analysis (MSA), pollution indices (heavy metal index (HPI), (MI), degree (Cd), ecological risk (ERI), (PI)), human health assessment (HHRA). The results revealed significant variations in concentrations across area, with highest found southern southeastern parts, characterized intense...

In Morocco, saline irrigation significantly affects soil quality and reduces crop yields. This study evaluates the effect of salt stress on properties overall performance durum wheat variety “Faraj”, aiming to optimize production under conditions. A greenhouse experiment was conducted during 2023–2024 season, using a completely randomized design (CRD) assess properties, plant growth, yield. Five salinity levels (0.2, 4, 8, 12, 16 dS m−1) were applied two types: silty-clay (S1) sandy (S2)....

Conservation agriculture (CA), which could contribute to sustainable agriculture, maintains or improves soil nitrogen fertility by eliminating tillage (no-tillage). Quantitative assessment of constituents is enhanced stable isotope techniques such as 15N, are used better understand dynamics. This study was therefore carried out assess the impact type and fertilizer application on plant fractionation. The trial consisted two types: no-tillage (NT) conventional (CT). Three doses (82, 115, 149...
