CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND INSECTICIDAL TOXICITY OF Artemisia arborescens and Rosmarinus tournefortii ESSENTIAL OILS AGAINST TWO MAJOR COLEOPTERAN PESTS

Essential oils extracted from plants are of growing interest as natural alternatives for the control of cereal pests. In this study, the essential oils of Artemisia arborescens and Rosmarinus tournefotii were characterised and their insecticidal activity was assessed against adults of Tribolium castaneum and Rhyzopertha dominica. The chemical composition of the essential oils was analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and the insecticide tests were carried out by contact. The results revealed the presence of several active compounds in the essential oils, which demonstrated potentially effective insecticidal activity, with mortality rates of 100.0% in T. castaneum and R. dominica using the essential oil of A. arborescens, and 93.33±11.54 % and 100% using the essential oil of R. tournefotii after 72 hours of testing. These results suggest that essential oils could be used as control tools against the species studied in storage silos.

PREMIÈRE PREUVE DE REPRODUCTION DU GOÉLAND RAILLEUR Chroicocephalus genei EN ALGÉRIE

A colony of Slender-billed Gulls was monitored during the spring of 2010 at El-Kerfa (High central plateaux of Algeria). 422 nests were built on an islet. The clutch-size was 2.8 eggs per nest. A sample of eggs were measured and weighed. The high rate of successful hatching (98.81%) was due to good habitat (quietness and plenty of food). However, only 1.2 chicks per couple fledged. It will be necessary to monitor the colony for several more years to specify the conditions of reproduction and confirm the lasting presence of the species on this site.

Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis and Leishmania infection among Meriones shawi population in Setif Province, Algeria

Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) is the most endemic disease in Algeria.Leishmania majoris the causative agent, and Gerbils Meriones shawiandPsammomys obesusare the main reservoir hosts. The Province of Setif in Algeria has become a very active focusfor this zoonosis.Our study was carried out from January 2017 until January 2019 in ten representative stations of the study area, with an aim to identify the association between zoonosis and reservoir host species. Eighty-six (86) specimens of M. shawi and three (3) specimens of P.obesuswere captured and determined. Superficial lesions were subjected to Giemsa stained smears. In addition, Livers and spleens were tested for Leishmania DNA using ITS1 PCR. The results showed the presence of M. shawiin almost all communities of Setif Provinceand the highest population with 50specimens (58.13%) was in the center and south. The microscopic and molecular detection of Leishmaniashowed high infestation in most specimens of Meriones(32/86) with a rate of 37.20 %, however, no infestation in Psammomyshas been detected. The PCA results showed a negative association between rainfall and ZCL cases; however, positive association was found between temperature and the human CL cases. Also, positive association was demonstrated between ZCL in south and center of Setif Provinceand Merionescaptured. Our finding, confirm that M. shawiis the principal reservoir host (76.78%) of the ZCL in Setif Province, sinceP.obesuswas nearly absent (2.67%).

UN SECOND CAS DE NIDIFICATION DE LA MOUETTE RIEUSE Chroicocephalus ridibundus EN ALGÉRIE

A second breeding evidence of Black-headed Gull Chroicocephalus ridibundus in Algeria. In May 2010 at Dayet El-Kerfa (Hauts-Plateaux, Algeria), 2 nests of Black-headed Gull were found in a mixed colonies of Gull-billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica, Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta and Black-winged Stilt Himantopus himantopus. In the same year another nest was found in a mixed colony of Collared Patincole Glareola pratincola and Pied Avocet.

Breeding ecology studies of Collared Pratincoles Glareola pratincola in the Central Hauts Plateaux of Algeria.

The breeding biology of Collared Pratincoles Glareola pratincola was studied for the first time in Algeria in 2010 at a natural salt lake at Dayet El Kerfa, in the semi-arid Hauts Plateaux. The breeding attempts of 35
pairs on three different islets were monitored. The mean laying date was 13 May (range: 28 April to 2 June). Mean clutch size was 2.0, but 47% of the nests had one or three eggs. Hatching success was 97%; only one nest failed. Clutch size, egg size, nest dimensions and hatching success did not vary between nests placed in the centre of an islet and nests closer to the shore. Our study contrasts with results reported for other Mediterranean breeding areas (in Morocco, France and Spain), showing differences in laying dates, clutch size and laying period. The beginning of egg laying at Dayet El Kerfa was three weeks later than on the N Atlantic coast of Morocco (28 April at Dayet El Kerfa and 7 April in Morocco), three weeks earlier than in Spain and two weeks earlier than in France. Clutch sizes were smaller than in other breeding areas in the Mediterranean basin. The range of hatching dates (25 days) was less than half that reported for a coastal area in Morocco;
this is probably related to the almost complete absence of nest predators at Dayet El Kerfa, so no pairs renested. The hatching success of 97% was the highest of all breeding sites in the Mediterranean basin.

Contribution à l'étude bioécologique du psylle de l'olivier Euphyllura olivina (Hémiptera Psyllidae) en conditions semi-arides dans une oliveraie à Ain Errich, Wilaya de M'sila, Algérie.

The study was conducted on the bioecology of the olive psyllid, Euphyllura olivina, in the daïra of Ain Errich, located in the extreme south of the Wilaya of M'sila, from December 2016 to May 2017, revealed that spawning took place at the beginning of April, with a maximum peak at the end of month with 164 eggs. All cardinal directions of the tree are infested by the pest, the South and North directions are more attacked by the larvae of the first and second stage, on the other hand the western direction is more attacked by fourth instar larvae; for adults, the first numbers are recorded at beginning of May with 64 individuals. Larval mortality took place at the end of May with a rate approaching 90%, caused by extreme climatic conditions as well as existing auxiliaries on site.

Etude du comportement de deux variétés de pommier Malus pumila mill vis-à-vis des paramètres climatiques en conditions semi-arides dans la région de Boussaâda wilaya de M'Sila, Algérie.

In the Wilaya-De-M'sila, agriculture is to some extent weak. Due to the weather conditions and the lack of training in this area, it is not invoked as a source of income. A study was carried out on apple cultivars such as Golden and Anna to determine the phenological stages and the effects of climatic factors on the progress and delay of the flowering date of flowers. The results showed that climatic factors affected the physiological stages of the apple tree. The budding period was earlier in Anna compared to Golden who was slightly behind. The recorded budding rate was considered high compared to previous years. The flowering was in March for Anna and in April for Golden. The flowering rate was exceptional for the study year compared to previous years. A relatively high flower rate was recorded.

Study of the factors of degradation of the culture of the apricot tree in the area of Boukhmissa, zone of Hodna, Wilaya of M’sila

The culture of the apricot tree in the area of Boukhmissa, wilaya of M’sila passes by one critical period which requires an immediate rectification; this degradation is due to several factors of a nature ecological, agronomic, economic and social. The climate change, the water quality of irrigation and the absence of a network of drainage are among the ecological elements which worsen this situation. The agronomic factor contributes in a direct way to this decline as the lack of diversity in varieties, the ageing of the orchards of
apricot trees and the ignorance of the modern farming techniques by the farmers of the area. The lack of maintenance of the orchards is due to the economic factor because of the dearness of the products necessary like to their scarcities on the local market. Finally the social factor which will worsen even more this situation, because of the division continual of the orchards between heirs, the ageing of the hands of open specialized, the exodus of the young farmers towards other less painful activities and the last element it is the invasion of the masonries on the orchards, which will reduce way marked the surfaces devoted to the culture of the apricot tree. All these factors can cause a total renunciation of the orchards of apricot tree, which will end up disappearing with the profit from the urbanization or the replacement by other plant species like the olive-tree or cereals.

Study of current situation of the apricot tree culture in the area of Boukhmissa, Wilaya of M’sila, Algeria.

Of share its situation inside the country, the area of Hodna, wilaya of M'sila, presents hot southernmost influences very interesting for an early product arboriculture. Surface occupied by this culture with passed of 3200 ha in 2001 to 6750 ha during the year 2006. Boukhmissa, is one of the most important arboriculture areas of Hodna, it contains an important collection of varieties of apricot tree, with various categories of age. Our study consists to evaluate and diagnose the situation of the culture of apricot tree in the area of Boukhmissa. A dry climate, following semi-arid bioclimatic stage with one cold winter and a very hot dry summer characterize the area of study. Being precipitations, the zone receives approximately 300 mm/an. The ground is of muddy type with alkaline pH (8.38) with an electric conductivity equalizes with 10.18 µs/cm.
Useful agricultural surface on 140 ha, being occupied by several cultures: Arboriculture 57 ha, cultivation of cereals 40 ha, market gardening 15 ha. These cultures all are led in irrigated system. Arboriculture accounts for 40.71% of the whole of the practised cultures. Among the various fruit-bearing species, which exist the apricot tree, is more dominating, with 90% of the orchards. Indeed, it has been about a speculation inherited a generation to another for several decades. Concerning the old one of the orchards, they are distributed as follows: 30% are lower than 10 years, 45% between 10 to 30 years and 25% are higher than 30 years. For the varieties, we find mainly Bullida 47%, Paviot 21%, red Louzi 17% and Tounsi 15%. As regards production, the statistics reveal strong increases passing in 4899q with 216000q, nevertheless the outputs remain weak and fluctuate one year to another according to the climatic conditions on the one hand and the ageing of the orchards and the plant health situation on the other hand.
