Agroecosystems harbor diverse communities of pollinating insects that provide ecosystem services, improving the quantity and quality of crops. Basic knowledge is still needed about the importance, role, diversity, and abundance of these insects in many Moroccan crops. In order to study the importance of wild pollinator communities for apple production, an economically valuable entomophilous...

This study aims to enhance the properties of sodium alginate by grafting phosphate and nitrogen onto its structure. A novel and sustainable esterification reaction involving sodium alginate, phosphoric acid, and urea was developed. The modified material, which is water-soluble but insoluble in various organic solvents, was characterized using a range of analytical techniques, including...

Morocco is facing a growing water shortage due to climatic, geographical, and demographic challenges. To address this crisis, the use of treated wastewater, often underestimated, appears to be a promising solution, offering an alternative that reduces pressure on conventional water sources. Extensive treatment systems, such as lagooning, are proving to be effective and well-suited to Moroccan...
