Abstract

Cereal cultivation in Algeria is practised in different areas according to morphology and bioclimatic levels. In this way, cereal yields observed in these areas are not the same. Our study has been made in order to test if this difference is statistically significant but also to test the link between the yields and bioclimatic levels of cereal area. This study could help public authorities to make better decisions to improve cereal yields and so cereal production by targeting cereals with relatively high yields and revising areas with weak yields.
