Abstract:
The study of the inventory of saffron bioaggressors in the Ghardaïa region has revealed a remarkable
diversity among these harmful organisms, whether they take the form of diseases in their various
forms, with approximately 5621 individuals in the insect category, or as mammals where we
identified about 5 different species, as well as in the category of weeds with 89 individuals. The results
of this research were discussed by comparing them to those of other researchers, emphasizing the
importance of managing these pests, which have a negative impact on the Crocus sativus crop, both
in terms of yield and quality.
Furthermore, this study provides essential information for farmers and individuals interested in
saffron cultivation by highlighting this diversity of harmful organisms. This encourages the
implementation of preventive measures to protect saffron crops from potential disruptions.
