“…Indeed, the production of bananas depends significantly on the use of a wide range of pesticides including fungicides and insecticides and with a high dose, resulting in a high phytosanitary pressure of 38 ( Figure 7). This ranking is relatively the same as that found by authors of studies 7,9,11,[18][19][20][21] , except that the frequency differs, from where the banana investigated at this level recorded an average of 14 which generates a lower pressure, as well less than that recorded by EL Azzouzi et al 8,9,12,20 who have registered a banana TFI value of 48. The Banana crop is followed by tomato crop, which is one of the most pesticide-eating vegetable crops, because of its highly susceptible nature to insect pests, compared to the value recorded in France, which uses 5% of pesticides for the treatment of pests 9 .…”

<pre>The Gharb area upstream of the Merja Zerga lagoon, also called the Ramsar Wetland, is a vital area with high agricultural activities, which increase the risk of contamination and pollution of air, water and soil, as well as endanger the ecological system of the area. The first survey has targeted 100 farm wells and has covered a surface of 555 ha, and the second one has targeted 71 pesticide resellers, have revealed the great uses of pesticides (13.6 kg/ha). The data collected is helping to evaluate, by using the indicator called the Treatment Frequency Indicator (TFI), the pressure of pesticides on the environment. As a methodology, we have adopted the calculation of a pressure indicator for the use of TFI pesticides using a platform called OLYMPE, by dividing the dose applied by the user over the recommended or prescribed dose on the product, the input data is collected during field surveys. The results of the survey show that the banana is the crop that undergoes the phytosanitary treatment, registering a TFI of 38. In term of the total consumption of pesticides identified, the orange tree comes at the first place ahead of other crops practised in the study area.</pre>

“…Because of this search for higher productivity, third generation chemical fungicides have been widely used. Depending on the active ingredient and amounts improperly used, harm is caused to the consumers and the environment, as well as the development of microorganism resistance, which reduces product effectiveness (HEMALANTHA et al, 2016;OUEDGHIRI, et al, 2016).…”

The search for alternatives for the control of microbiological contamination in foods has been the object of study in different scientific areas. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil in controlling the growth of the fungus Aspergillus flavus in three types of analysis: first, by in vitro tests, in essential oil doses between 0.2 and 1.0 μL/ml; second, by serial microdilution to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration, in doses between 0.1 and 1.2 μL/mL; and third, by inhibition of fungal growth in corn kernels contaminated using essential oil doses of 0.4, 0.7, and 1.0 μL/mL, in the incubation times of 14, 28, and 42 days. The in vitro tests showed that the essential oil controlled the fungus from doses of 0.6 μL/mL, but the dose of 1.0 μL/mL controlled 100% growth until day eight of incubation, from which it decreased. The minimum inhibitory concentration for the microdilution analysis was 0.9 μL/mL. The evaluation of the corn kernels for all doses of essential oil and times tested showed 100% inhibition of the fungal growth.

“…The challenge facing all regions of Morocco and especially rural areas is the protection of the quality of groundwater resources. Indeed, groundwater pollution is one of the most worrisome aspects and the use of groundwater for food purposes could in some cases represent a definite danger to human health [5]. Today, little data are available on the health status of drinking water supplies in rural municipalities in the province of Al-Hoceima.…”

Assessment of health risks related to groundwater consumption in Al-Hoceima region

et al. 2021

Water is a precious natural resource for life, and more vulnerable to different contaminations; it has become less and less drinkable because it is polluted and can carry pathogenic germs that cause water diseases. The population of the Al-Hoceima region is supplied with drinking water from the network of the National Drinking Water Board, which is not widespread in rural areas where there is the frequent use of communal water points (spring or well). Health concerns remain related to the consumption of untreated well water, in the absence of a department responsible for the management of well water (development, equipment, treatment, protection, and quality control). To preserve the health of the population from any source of contamination carried by water, the Ministry of Health, carries out, through the provincial hygiene services, the control and monitoring of the physical-chemical and bacteriological quality of water in the framework of the fight against water diseases. The objective of this work was to determine the state of groundwater quality in the Al-Hoceima region, based on the study of physicochemical and bacteriological parameters. A control of 41 collective water points was carried out, including 30 wells and 11 springs. The collected samples were analyzed to measure some physical parameters: electrical conductivity, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen, possibly looking for indicator germs of fecal contamination, namely coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, and intestinal enterococci. The results revealed fecal contamination of all collective water points by coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli. Appropriate measures must be taken for the disinfection of these waters before their use.
