La dynamique agricole dans la zone d'El Ghrous (Biskra) : entre le boom maraîcher et la lente généralisation des systèmes de production phoenicicoles

Abstract

In the current study we investigate the farming system development in the region of El Ghrous (Biskra), through evolution trend of three identified farm kinds (palm, truck farming, and mixed). The result show that the evolution of the old farms began with a partial occupation of land by the date palm followed by an introduction and extension Plasticulture then became a holding palm where other crops are marginalized. The truck farming system production in the region is profitable and has been widespread, but remains cyclical and tends to be replaced by the mixed systems (phoeniculture –gardening) to become a purpose – palm.
