“…In the territory of the Loukkos in Morocco, our surveys showed that pesticide use proved the only protective method practiced to control late blight and aphids in potatoes. In Europe, aphids gave a mean annual loss of 850000 tons of potato production (Namgung et al, 2022). Annually, late blight causes global losses of nearly 10 billion euros (Sanabria et al, 2020).…”

Loukkos perimeter is among the most important irrigated agricultural areas in Morocco. It covers horticulture and market garden production, including potato. This crop is characterized by the intensive use of pesticides that could lead to health and ecological risks, via the food chain and contamination of natural resources, including groundwater. This study aims to assess the use of pesticides in potato cultivation and their impacts on the environment and human health. Here, pesticide use was characterized by the number of treatments (NT), quantity of active substances indicator (QASI) and the treatment frequency indicator (TFI), through eld surveys carried out on 50 Loukkos potato producers. The results showed that farmers use heavy pesticide treatments, mainly against late blight. We determined NT = 19 treatments, total TFI = 28.10 and QASI = 14.86 kg/ha. These values re ect a massive use of pesticides on this crop, which could therefore constitute a challenge and a major constraint for the development of sustainable agriculture in this zone, due to their negative environmental and health effects. It is, therefore, necessary to react quickly to make changes in phytosanitary practices with the aim to monitoring pesticide use via the agro-environmental indicators to reduce health and environmental impact of intensive pesticide use.
