Abstract

The management of crop residues remains a major concern for the populations of regions with strong agricultural activity, because their poor management is often a source of disease. Also the absence of a consolidated database of the quantities of agricultural waste actually produced in the localities makes it difficult to exploit them. This work aims to set up a relational database making it possible to obtain information on the quantities of residues available in the localities. The quantities were estimated using agricultural statistics data from the Ministry of Agriculture and residue productivity indices. The approach adopted is the MERISE method which requires a study of the existing as well as a formalization based on the entity-association model and the use of a relational database management system, then a programming language oriented object. The result of this work is a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to enter and to view crop residue data. Thus, the “bddechetagro” database set up contains useful data for an overall assessment of the problem. She will allow operators wishing to process crop residues in recovery units to acquire information on the desired residues. Thus, from a query, it is possible to obtain the list of residues available in the basin, residues available in a locality, residues available by locality and by type of residue, information on a residue from the name, to obtain information from a producer of residue.
