Abstract
Cereal grains are grown on 80 percent of the cultivated area
of Morocco and contribute approximately 50% of the cash value
derived from plant production. Fifty percent of the cereal area
is planted to barley, 31% to durum wheat and 9% to bread wheat.
The production areas include a variety of agroclimatic conditions,
ranging from semi-arid to high rainfall, from low elevation to
mountainous areas, with each environment presenting its own
challenge to growers, as well as scientists.
