Abstract


The spontaneous vegetation of the cultivated land is a source of selection for genes and the molecules which one can employ in the future. The study of cereal weeds in Constantine high plains (north-east, Algeria) enabled us to record 254 species belonging to 34 plant families. The results indicated that nearly 20% of these weeds are medicinal species. Annuals and broad leaved species were predominant. The knowledge of biology and ecology of these species, already adapted to the lands exploited by the man, would facilitate their exploitation. In fact, they are already collected and employed by farmers. This mechanical control method makes it possible to decrease the use of herbicides and contribute to the protection of biodiversity. Focusing on these traditional forms of exploitation would lead to diversification of resources and to the adoption of an integrated agricultural development system.
