| Abstract |
The report year 1978-79 was the third successive unfavorable crop year for Algeria. The drought effect was common to all the North African countries. The Algerian cereal production this year was 14.2 million quintals with an overall average of 5.34 quintals per ha. Cereal crop research in Algeria is carried out in seven different stations. Of these seven only the Oued Sarnar Station (Algiers) had good moisture throughout the crop season. Stations of Khroub (Constantine) Setif and Ain El Hadjar (Saida) were extremely dry. Guelma, Tiaret and Sidi Bel Abbes the crop went through some drought stress. The actual yields obtained by the producers in these areas are much lower than what can be attained. |
