Abstract

The objective of this research was to map and analyze anthropogenic impacts on natural resources in the Ziban region of Algeria using remote sensing imagery from 1995 to 2021. Medium-resolution satellite images from Landsat TM and OLI were utilized, with image processing techniques such as colorful compositions and supervised classification to map land cover. Seven land use and land cover (LULC) classes were identified, distinguishing human-derived categories (palm, agriculture, urban, and greenhouses) from natural surfaces (nebka, natural vegetation, and bare soil). The results indicated significant increases in human-driven elements like palm, urban areas, agriculture, greenhouses, and nebka, and notable decreases in natural components like vegetation and bare soil. Specifically, the rate of change (Tc) showed increases of 0.9% for palm, 1.14% for urban, 1.55% for agriculture, 1.91% for greenhouses, and 9.37% for nebka, and decreases of -3.68% for vegetation and -11.19% for bare soil. These findings highlight the impact of agricultural policies, population growth, and natural and human-induced conditions on natural resources. Palm areas remained largely unchanged due to state policies, whereas agriculture saw significant conversions to bare soil and palm. Vegetation declined substantially due to adverse climatic conditions and agricultural expansion. Nebka and urban areas had moderate to high conversion rates, and bare soil saw notable changes due to sand movement and urban/agricultural development. The study highlights the role of remote sensing and land cover analysis in managing natural resources sustainably, considering factors like agricultural policies and population growth. It emphasizes developing data-driven strategies for effective land use and management.

Abstract

A test on a variety of barley “Fouara” was carried out to verify the effects of treated wastewater on some physio-morphological parameters of this plant. Two different types of irrigation were chosen, one using treated wastewater from the Ain Beida wastewater treatment plant, and the other, ordinary water serving as a control. The physicochemical results of the treated wastewater showed, in particular, the EC, NH4, NO3 and the DCO/DB05 ratio do not exceed the admissible standards when they reach their maximum values The physio-morphological parameters of barley respond positively to the use of this water; represented by the two averages of the 'sugar' parameter which shows a clear difference depending on the water category (T and S) or the control individuals express an average (0.055) significantly lower than that of the S individuals (0.847). We note that significant values of the positive correlation coefficient of r=0.812 between the two parameters TRE and SF, therefore there is an association between these two factors. But negative for the TRE and PSF (r = -0.722). This means that the values of the two parameters do not evolve in the same direction. The factors 'sugar' and 'chlorophyll b' present the best correlation, they better represent the six individuals and the proline contents are higher in the treated plants.

Abstract

Essential oils play a crucial role in biological control against parasites threatening the beekeeping stock, both in Algeria and globally. Their appropriate use helps reduce the adverse effects of chemical products on human health and the environment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the components of Eucalyptus pauciflora essential oil grown in Algeria and to evaluate its impact on the marine shrimp Artemia salina and the mite Varroa destructor, while also comparing it to other species of Eucalyptus from the same region namely, Eucalyptus robusta, globulus, sideroxylon, and amygdalina, which have been examine in previous research. Steam distillation of fresh leaves from Eucalyptus pauciflora yielded 0.73% essential oils. This plant contains a total of thirty-nine chemical compounds, among which the most significant are 1,8-cineole (57.45%), β-cymene (5.44%), spathulenol (5.38%), trans-verbenol (4.31%), and α-pinene (3.11%). A lethality test on brine shrimp (BSL) revealed that Eucalyptus pauciflora exhibits toxicity with a median lethal concentration (LC50) of 53.51 ppm. Field trials conducted on hives infested with Varroa destructor showed that the acaricidal effect of Eucalyptus pauciflora is superior to that of amygdalina and sideroxylon species, but inferior to that of globulus and robusta species, all sourced from the same herbarium (Draa Naga) in northeastern Algeria. The results of this research highlight the benefits of Eucalyptus essential oils to be integrated into the formulation of natural acaricides that are environmentally friendly to combat Varroa destructor infestation.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, Algeria has experienced a significant decline in rainfall patterns, which has been exacerbated by increasing hot spells leading to elevated rates of evapotranspiration. This combination of factors has induced severe water stress, critically impacting agricultural productivity, particularly in cereal production. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, our study was conducted over two consecutive cropping seasons at the experimental agricultural site of Ibn Khaldoun University in Tiaret, located in the western region of Algeria. We specifically investigated the performance of two durum wheat cultivars, ACSAD 297 and CTA 159, under conditions of water stress typical of the Algerian high plains. Our research focused on the impacts of water deficits during the grain filling phase, assessing their effects on seed formation, seed quality, and overall yield development. The results highlighted that contributions from various plant components to grain filling were notably affected by water availability, with lower leaves contributing 22%, the flag leaf 15%, the ear 14%, the ear neck 10%, and awns less than 1%. Notably, the ACSAD 297 cultivar exhibited superior drought tolerance compared to CTA 159, indicating its potential for cultivation in arid conditions. Furthermore, we established strong correlations between grain diameter, thousand grain weight, and stem height, which could inform future breeding initiatives. These findings not only provide important targets for enhancing drought resistance in durum wheat but also have broader implications for improving wheat productivity in semi-arid regions around the world, contributing to food security in the face of climate change.

Abstract

The Middle Cheliff Plain faces persistent difficulties in manag-ing its limited groundwater reserves. This region, covering 321 km² in a semi-arid climate, is subjected to a detailed study of groundwater quality for irrigation purposes. In this context, twelve samples were carefully collected and analyzed. Nine es-sential parameters were evaluated, including physicochemical parameters and irrigation indices It is noted that the waters have an average conductivity of 4231 μs.cm-1 and a significant chloride content of 23.33 meq/l which has an unacceptable cat-egory for irrigation also the majority of the indices present fair-ly acceptable and permissible values for irrigation SAR and RSC (100%) of the samples respectively, also the PI 75% of the pie-zometers are suitable for irrigation These criteria were used to assess the suitability of groundwater for irrigation. In most of the plain, the Groundwater Quality Index for Irrigation (GWQII) indicates both acceptable and poor quality. These results show that most of these chemical constituents are above the FAO standards. Therefore, irrigation water poses a danger to the region's vast fields and its fragile crops. The proposed ap-proach has demonstrated efficacy in the assessment of groundwater quality for irrigation purposes, exhibiting versa-tility in application and adaptability across diverse geograph-ical regions, including humid, arid, and semi-arid settings worldwide.

Abstract

Recently, plants have been considered as a valuable natural source of cosmetic active ingredientsowing to their sustainability and weak toxicity. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the cosmetic efficacy of Centaurea dimorpha Viv (Asteraceae), an endemic species of North Africa, as a promising natural cosmetic active ingredient. In the present study, Ethyl acetate and Butanolic extracts obtained from powdered Centaurea dimorpha aerial parts were investigated for their phenolic and flavonoid contents, which were evaluatedvia Folin-ciocalteu reagent and aluminium chloride methods, the in vitro antioxidant potential was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging,phosphomolybdenum and phenanthroline assays, the UVB and broad spectrum protective efficacy was spectrophotometrically assessed by measuring SPF, UVA/UVB ratio and critical wavelength (CW) indices. The highest levels of TPC and TFCwere recorded by the ethyl-acetate extract (119.20 ± 0.32 µg GAE mg-1, 50.65 ± 0.43 µg QEmg-1, respectively). Similarly, this extract displayed a significant antioxidant effect, particularly in the phenanthroline assay (152.63 ± 0.49 µg AAEmg-1). Ethyl acetate extract also showed UVB and broad-spectrum (UVB-UVA) protective efficacy (SPF=12.30 ± 0.001, UVA/UVB ratio=0.63 ± 0.001, λc= 371). The results obtained show the possibility to use Ethyl acetate extract as a promising active ingredient for sunscreen formulations.

Abstract

This study contributes to the evaluation of irrigation performance in the irrigated perimeter of Guelma-Boucheggouf, located in the Wila-ya of Guelma in northeastern Algeria. The aim was to evaluate the irrigation water-use efficiency (WUEi) as a performance indicator of the irrigated system at the perimeter with regard to the existing distribution scheme. It is calculated according to the equation adopted within the framework of the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development “Plan Bleu” (MSSD) in 2008. It is the prod-uct of the overall efficiency of the supply-distribution network (E1) and the plot irrigation efficiency (E2), and is subject to the irrigation methods used. The calculations yielded irrigation water-use effi-ciency (WUEi) of 46.1%. Examining the results for the 2019 to 2022 irrigation campaigns revealed significant losses between the pumped volumes and the ones released, which indicates a low ad-duction efficiency (Ea) of 54.22% and explains the inadequacy of the release system compared with the water saving strategies adopted by the national water plan in Algeria. The results also reveal the im-portance of the existing distribution system reflected by a distribu-tion efficiency (Ed) of 82.08%, which reduced the overall efficiency of the network (E1) calculated from the two efficiencies to 56.58%, indicating an average loss of 9.8 Hm3 between the released volumes and those distributed. The plot efficiency (E2), calculated at 82%, was acceptable due to its dependence on the irrigation methods used; however further improvement is needed.

Abstract

Recently, using plants as a renewable source of bioactive mole-cules has aroused worldwide interest in the search for environ-mentally friendly alternatives that are less toxic and less costly than chemical pesticides. The black aphid Aphis fabae Scopoli (Homoptera: Aphididae) is a major insect pest that considerably compromises the quality and productivity of bean crops. This study aimed to compare the aphicidal activity of extracts derived from the medicinal plant Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) (Rhamnaceae) against Aphis fabae to determine and select the most potent ex-tracts in terms of toxicity. We treated aphid larvae and adults with various extracts (of hexane, dichloromethane, methane and water) from the leaves and stem bark of the plant using laborato-ry contact toxicity methods. The toxicity of the extracts was as-sessed based on the percentage of residual population (PR%) in aphid larvae and adults. Our results indicate that the methanolic extracts of Z. spina-christi leaves and bark had the lowest residual population percentages (RP less than 30%) compared with those recorded for the other extracts. The methanol extracts were more toxic to Aphis fabae larvae than adults. We conclude that methanol extracts of Z. spina-christi, particularly the stem bark methanol extract, can be considered an effective botanical aphi-cide harmless to the health and environment and therefore can be used to combat aphids as an alternative to chemical insecti-cides.
