Species-specific prey choice of carabid beetles in European cereal fields
2017
National audience; Trophic interactions between species in agroecosystems provide key regulation ecosystem services and therefore also determine the dynamics, robustness and resilience of service provision. To achieve international goals of reducing application of pesticides without compromising key provisioning ecosystem services such as crop yield, recent research attaches importance to the biological control potential of carabid beetles. However, apart from feeding on pest species and weed seeds, carabids also consume non-pest prey (alternative prey) such as collembolans and earthworms, which can play a contradictory role in the efficacy of pest and weed control. Most carabids are descri…

Effects of seed and carabid densities on the weed seed predation service
2017
National audience; Farming relies heavily on pesticides in order to maintain/increase crop production, yet, awareness of the adverse effects of pesticides on the environment and on biodiversity has triggered the search for alternative, non-chemical, pest management strategies. In arable systems, weeds remain one of the most challenging management issue. Recent research suggest that the depletion of weed seeds by naturally occurring seed consumers could impact the dynamics of problematic weeds and in temperate systems, carabid beetles are the main invertebrate consumers of weed seeds. However, predicting weed seed depletion rates in field conditions remains difficult, as carabid trophic resp…

ENGAGED: System design of direct seedings under permanent cover crop without glyphosate
2022
Direct seeding under permanent cover crop (SDCV) corresponds to sow a crop in a multiyear vegetal cover crop(often clover) without soil perturbation. It is an emblematic technique of Conservation Agriculture whose agronomicand environmental interests are multiple because of the special attention paid to soils. However, the issue of weedcontrol and permanent cover crop control is central to SDCV culture systems. The use of non-selective herbicide suchas glyphosate is the most common technical lever for weed and cover crop management. Glyphosate is in the hotseat since the President of France announced its banning from 2023. It becomes necessary to find alternatives for thesustainability of t…

Robotics for weed control: I-Weed Robot for a specific spraying
2012
International audience; To preserve environment for a sustainable agriculture, we explore the development of a new autonomous robot, called I-Weed Robot (Intelligent Weed Robot), which aims at reducing herbicides in crop fields (maize, sunflower...). Using a high precision positioning signal (RTK) to locate the robot in the field, a Kaman filter and a proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) allow adjusting the orientation of the robot depending on a predefined trajectory. As for the spraying system, a camera in front of the mobile platform detects weed plants thanks to an image processing based on a crop/weed discrimination algorithm (Hough Transform). At the back a spr…
New Decision-making Tools for sustainable Weed Control
2021
En 2017, le Conseil fédéral suisse a adopté le pland’action visant à la réduction des risques et à l’utilisation durable des produits phytosanitaires. L’une desmesures de ce plan est «la renonciation complète oupartielle aux herbicides». Or, celle-ci n’est réalisablequ’au travers d’une stratégie de gestion globale desadventices, à l’échelle de la culture et de la rotation. Eneffet, les adventices sont nuisibles pour la culture enplace l’année en cours, mais aussi de manière pluriannuelle par le biais de leur stock semencier. La mise enœuvre de mesures préventives et curatives basées surles principes de la protection intégrée nécessite denouveaux outils d’aide à la décision. Des indicateursd…
