    In Morocco, soils that are naturally suppressive to date palm Bayoud disease have long been discovered. Although suppressiveness was attributed to biological activities of indigenous microbes, our knowledge on the specific mechanisms underpinning this property remains limited. In this study, we investigated nutrient competition between Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, the causal agent of Bayoud disease, and saprophytic Fusarium as a factor of disease suppressiveness/conduciveness in suppressive and conducive soils. Growth of pathogenic and saprophytic Fusarium isolates from one suppressive and one conducive soils on 95 carbon sources was assessed. Fusarium isolates exhibited distinct nutrient use profiles and varied significantly with soil in carbon utilization. Isolates from the suppressive soil had significantly the greatest resource use efficiency, followed by the pathogenic isolates that grew significantly faster than the isolates from the conducive soil. Data on nutrient niche overlap showed that the pathogen is outcompeted by saprophytic Fusarium populations in the suppressive soil and outcompetes those in the conducive soil. Taken together, our results provide insight into the role of competition for carbon resources among pathogenic and saprophytic Fusarium communities as a driving factor in soil suppressiveness/conduciveness. This finding may also open novel research paths and offer opportunities for the development of biocontrol techniques against Bayoud disease in Moroccan date palm groves.

    Un essai a Ă©tĂ© menĂ© sous tunnel plastique Ă  l’INRA de KĂ©nitra (El Menzeh) en vue de caractĂ©riser les diffĂ©rents biotypes du nĂ©matode des agrumes (Tylenchulus semipenetrans) existants dans les vergers marocains. Les plantes hĂŽtes diffĂ©rentielles utilisĂ©es dans ce test sont le citronnier Ă©pineux (Poncirus trifoliata), le bigaradier (Citrus aurantium), la vigne (Vitis vinifera) et l’olivier (Olea europaea). Les diffĂ©rentes plantes hĂŽtes ont Ă©tĂ© inoculĂ©es par une suspension de 10.000 d’Ɠufs et juvĂ©niles de deuxiĂšme stade de T. semipenetrans des rĂ©gions du Gharb, Loukkos, Haouz, Moulouya et Souss-Massa. Les diffĂ©rentes populations de T. semipenetrans ont montrĂ© une forte capacitĂ© Ă  se multiplier sur le bigaradier et aussi sur la vigne, contrairement Ă  l’olivier et le P. trifoliata. Le taux de reproduction (TR) des diffĂ©rentes populations de T. semipenetrans sur le porte-greffe P. trifoliata et l’olivier est infĂ©rieur Ă  1, contrairement au bigaradier et la vigne oĂč ce taux de reproduction est supĂ©rieur Ă  1. Ces rĂ©sultats indiquent que les cinq populations de T. semipenetrans des rĂ©gions du Gharb, Loukkos, Haouz, Moulouya et Souss- Massa appartenant au biotype MĂ©diterranĂ©en. Mots-clĂ©s: NĂ©matode des agrumes, rĂ©gions, Plantes hĂŽtes, Biotype MĂ©diterranĂ©en.The biotype of citrus nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans) from Morocco was determined using differential plant hosts, namely trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata), bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), grape (Vitis vinifera) and olive (Olea europaea). The study was conducted under greenhouse conditions with 5 replicates. Nematodes from regions of Gharb, Souss-Masssa, Haouz, Loukkos and Moulouya were extracted from roots and inoculated to hosts with 10.000 eggs and juveniles per plant. Reproductive factors were less than one for Poncirus trifoliate and olive for all populations. Result of differential-host experiment showed that all five T. semipenetrans populations belong to the Mediterranean biotype.

    Le prĂ©sent travail de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme de recherche d’appui au ‘’Projet Arganier’’. Il est coordonnĂ© par l’association Agrotechnologies du Souss-Massa-Draa (Agrotech) en partenariat avec un consortium de chercheurs sur l’arganier. Ce travail a pour objectif de dĂ©terminer les doses et frĂ©quences d’irrigation favorables pour une meilleure reprise des plants d’arganier aprĂšs transplantation sur trois sites appartenant Ă  des zones agro-climatiques diffĂ©rentes; Taksbite sur un plateau Ă  climat ocĂ©anique, Anzad sur un piĂ©mont de montagne Ă  climat continental et Tinzert Ă  gĂ©ographie et climat montagneuse. Les rĂ©sultats de ce travail ont montrĂ© que la dose de 16 L/plant et la frĂ©quence d’un mois sont recommandĂ©es sur le site de Taksbite. Cependant, sur le site d’Anzad, ces rĂ©sultats ont dĂ©montrĂ© que la dose de 36 L/plant et les deux frĂ©quences; 1 et 2 mois sont conseillĂ©s. De mĂȘme, la dose de 35 L/plant et la frĂ©quence de 2 mois se sont montrĂ©es plus efficientes sur le site de Tinzert. Enfin, cette expĂ©rimentation a mis en Ă©vidence l’existence d’une grande hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© au sein de cette population, due principalement Ă  sa grande diversitĂ© gĂ©nĂ©tique et son adaptation aux conditions agro-climatiques de chaque site de plantation. Mots clĂ©s : Arganier, irrigation, rĂ©gĂ©nĂ©rationThis work is part of the research program supporting the ‘’ Argan Project ‘’. It is coordinated by the Agrotechnologies Association of Souss-Massa-Draa (Agrotech) in partnership with a consortium of researchers on the argan tree. The purpose of this work is to determine the favorable doses and frequencies of irrigation for a better recovery of argan plants after transplantation in three sites belonging to different agro-climatic zones; Taksbite on an ocean climate plateau, Anzad on a mountain foothill with continental climate and Tinzert with a mountain geography and climate. The results of this work showed that the dose of 16 L/plant and the frequency of one month are recommended for the Taksbite site. However, on the Anzad site, results demonstrated that the dose of 36 L/plant and both frequencies, 1 and 2 months, are recommended. Similarly, the dose of 35 L/plant and the frequency of 2 months were more efficient at the Tinzert site. Finally, this experiment revealed the existence of a great heterogeneity within argan population mainly due to its great genetic diversity and its adaptation to the agro-climatic conditions of each plantation site.  Keywords:  Argan tree, irrigation, regeneratio

    Several surveys were conducted in Souss-Massa region in order to assess the diversity and incidence of the main nematodes associated with raspberry grown in greenhouses. Soil samples were collected from raspberry greenhouses located in the provinces of Biogra, Khmis Ait Amira and Belfaa. Twelve nematode genera were identified on raspberry. In terms of abundance and frequency, three plant-parasitic nematodes (Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus spp., and Helicotylenchus spp.) were dominant in all the surveyed provinces. The following species were identified from randomly selected specimens: Pratylenchus penetrans, P. thornei, Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, and Ditylenchus dipsaci. The average density of Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus does not exceed 4 nematodes per 100 cm3 of soil in the three surveyed provinces. Ectoparasitic nematodes, Xiphinema spp., Longidorus spp. and Trichodorus spp. were very poorly represented, with average densities not exceeding 2 nematodes per 100 cm3 of soil. These results provide basic information to develop control strategy against the main plant-parasitic nematodes on raspberry. Keywords: Nematode, Raspberry, Souss-Massa, MoroccoDes prospections ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es dans la rĂ©gion de Souss-Massa en vue d’évaluer la diversitĂ© et l’incidence des principaux nĂ©matodes associĂ©s Ă  la culture du framboisier. Des Ă©chantillons de sol ont Ă©tĂ© prĂ©levĂ©s au niveau des serre de framboise situĂ©es dans les provinces de Biogra, Khmis Ait Amira et Belfaa. Douze genres de nĂ©matodes phytoparasites ont Ă©tĂ© identifiĂ©s sur framboisier. Les trois genres, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus et Helicotylenchus sont les plus frĂ©quents dans la totalitĂ© des Ă©chantillons analysĂ©s. Les espĂšces suivantes ont Ă©tĂ© identifiĂ©es parmi des spĂ©cimens choisis au hasard: Meloidogyne javanica, Meloidogyne incognita, Pratylenchus penetrans, Pratylenchus thornei et ditylenchus dipsaci. La densitĂ© moyenne des Meloidogyne et Pratylenchus ne dĂ©passe pas les 4 nĂ©matodes par 100 cm3 de sol dans les trois provinces. Cette densitĂ© reste sous le seuil de nuisibilitĂ©. Les nĂ©matodes ectoparasites, Xiphinema spp., Longidorus spp. et Trichodorus spp. ont Ă©tĂ© trĂšs faiblement reprĂ©sentĂ©s, avec des densitĂ©s moyennes ne dĂ©passant pas 2 nĂ©matodes par 100 cm3 de sol. Ces donnĂ©es fournissent des informations utiles pour orienter les programmes de prĂ©vention et de lutte contre ces bio-agresseurs de framboise. Mots clĂ©s: NĂ©matode, framboise, Souss-Massa, Maro

    Effet de la durĂ©e d’exploitation de la culture du safran, installĂ©e Ă  diffĂ©rentes densitĂ©s, sur la production et la multiplication des cormes «semences» dans la rĂ©gion de Taliouine

    In Taliouine region, the expansion of saffron cultivation requires the availability of good quality corms as propagated material. It is essential to establish an on-farm multiplication scheme to optimize corms production. A multi-year experiment over 5 seasons was carried out to study saffron behavior, planted at different planting densities (35, 50 and 100 corms/m2) in comparison with the traditional planting method (150 corms/m2), in local conditions of Taliouine. The results showed that low planting densities (35 and 50 corms/m2) favored higher multiplication rates of replacement corm and the number harvested was significantly similar to high planting density and to the traditional method. Nevertheless, the latter methods have produced low-weight replacement corms because of the negative effect on their sizes. On the other hand, in the case of low densities, 65% and 75% of corms had a satisfactory size, ensuring good production of saffron spice. Finally, we conclude that production and multiplication of corms “seeds” is directly related to the choice of planting density and expected yield of stigmas and corms according to the age of this perennial crop. Keywords: Saffron, corm, planting density, multiplication, TaliouineDans la rĂ©gion de Taliouine, le projet d’extension des superficies de la culture du safran suscite la question de la disponibilitĂ© des cormes-semences de bonne qualitĂ©. Il est primordial de dresser un schĂ©ma de multiplication en plein champ et d’optimiser la production des cormes «semence». Une expĂ©rimentation pluriannuelle, sur 5 saisons, dont l’objectif est l’étude du comportement d’une safraniĂšre installĂ©e Ă  diffĂ©rentes densitĂ©s (35, 50 et 100 cormes/m2) en comparaison avec le mode traditionnel (semis en poquet Ă  150 cormes/m2), a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© dans les conditions du terroir de Taliouine. Les rĂ©sultats ont montrĂ© que les densitĂ©s de plantation lĂ©gĂšres (35 et 50 cormes/m2) ont engendrĂ© des taux de multiplication supĂ©rieurs et un rendement en nombre de cormes rĂ©coltĂ©s significativement semblables au cas des hautes densitĂ©s et de la mĂ©thode traditionnelle de semis. NĂ©anmoins, ces derniers cas ont engendrĂ© une production de cormes de remplacement de faibles poids et un effet nĂ©gatif sur leurs calibres. Dans le cas de faibles densitĂ©s, 65% et 75% des cormes ont un diamĂštre commercial supĂ©rieur assurant une bonne production de safran Ă©pice. La production et la multiplication des cormes de safran est directement liĂ©e au choix de la densitĂ© et du rendement escomptĂ©.

    Cette Ă©tude prĂ©sente une comparaison de la performance de quatre modĂšles d’estimation de l’évapotranspiration journaliĂšre (ET) sous serre. Les modĂšles Ă©tudiĂ©s sont De VillĂšle (ETDV), Penman-Monteith (ETPM), Stanghellini (ETST) et enfin le modĂšle Takakura (ETTK), basĂ© sur l’équation du bilan de chaleur au niveau du couvert vĂ©gĂ©tal. L’étude a Ă©tĂ© conduite durant deux campagnes de production de la tomate (2012 et 2013), sous deux types de serre (monochapelle et canarienne) localisĂ©es au Domaine ExpĂ©rimental Melk Zhar Ă  Balfae (INRA Agadir). Les modĂšles ETST et ETPM simulent correctement la transpiration de la tomate aussi bien pour les valeurs mesurĂ©es que pour le gain journalier de la tige de la tomate (CM/GJ) sous serre Monochapelle (RÂČ= 0,55 et 0,62). Dans le mĂȘme sens, nous avons dĂ©gagĂ© une relation satisfaisante entre l’Eff-TR (l’efficience de transpiration de la plante) et le rapport CM/GJ en utilisant le modĂšle ETST, respectivement sous les serres monochapelle et canarienne (RÂČ= 0,67; 0,58). L’étude a identifiĂ© des seuils critiques ou bien des bases de rĂ©fĂ©rence de l’état hydrique de la tomate: confort hydrique (0,40<CM/GJ<0,50 et 70<Eff-TR<90%); surestimation de l’irrigation (CM/GJ<0,42 et Eff-TR<70% et stress hydrique (CM/GJ>0,46 et Eff-TR>90%). Par ailleurs, la comparaison des moyennes suivant le niveau de rendement a permis de dĂ©gager 3 groupes de modĂšles ET; ETST (318 t/ha) > ETTK (272 t/ha) > ETDV~ETPM (236-249 t/ha). Mots clĂ©s: ModĂšle d’évapotranspiration, Tomate sous serre, gain journalier de la tige, efficience de transpiration, Ă©tat hydrique de la plante, rendement.This study compared the performance of four models to estimate the daily evapotranspiration (ET) in the greenhouse. The studied models were De Villele model (ETDV), Penman-Monteith model (ETPM), Stanghellini model (ETST) and finally Takakura (ETTK) transpiration model, based on heat balance equation of the crop canopy. The study was conducted during two tomato cropping seasons (2012 and 2013) under two greenhouses types (Monospan and Canarian), at INRA Melk Zhar Experiment Station (Agadir, Morocco). ETST and ETPM models correctly simulated tomato transpiration for both measured values and daily gain of the tomato stem (MC/DG) in the Monospan greenhouse (RÂČ = 0,55 and 0,62). Similarly, we have reached a satisfactory relationship between the Eff-TR (the efficiency of plant transpiration) and the ratio MC/DG using the ETST model under Monospan and Canarian greenhouses (RÂČ = 0,67; 0,58) respectively. The study identified critical thresholds or water status baselines of tomato: water comfort (0,40 <MC/DG < 0,50 and 70 < Eff-TR <90%); overestimation of irrigation (MC/DG < 0,42 and Eff-TR < 70% and water stress (MC/DG > 0,46 and Eff-TR > 90%). In addition, the comparison of means according to yield level identified three groups of ET models; ETST (318 T/ha)> ETTK (272 t/ha)> ~ ETDV~ETPM (236-249 t/ha). Keywords: Evapotranspiration model, greenhouse tomato, daily gain of stem, transpiration efficiency, plant water status, yield
