Agroecology and Strategies for Climate Change
2012
; Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion.Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur fro…
PODCAST PPR Vitae
2021
In this podcast, François Delmotte, Marielle Adrian and Hervé Hannin, the coordinators of the VITAE research project, present the strategies developed by VITAE to grow and protect vines differently. Vincent Pétré, the podcast's creator, lends his voice to the discussion to find out how to support the transition to agroecological winegrowing socio-ecosystems.
Exploit biodiversity in viticultural systems to reduce pest damage and pesticide use, and increase ecosystems services provision: the BIOVINE Project
2018
Organic vineyards still rely on large external inputs to control harmful organisms (i.e., pests). The BIOVINE project aims to develop natural solutions based on plant diversity to control pests and reduce pesticide dependence. The capability of plants of increasing the ecosystem resistance to pests and invasive species is a well-known ecosystem service. However, monocultures (including vineyards) do not exploit the potential of plant diversity. BIOVINE aims to develop new viticultural systems based on increased plant diversity within (e.g., cover crops) and/or around (e.g., hedges, vegetation spots, edgings) vineyards by planting selected plant species for the control of arthropods, soil-bo…
DIVERSITE GENETIQUE ET PHENOLOGIE DE CYPERUS ESCULENTUS L. (CYPERACEAE) POUR UNE GESTION INTEGREE DE L'ESPECE DANS LES CULTURES DE HAUTE LANDE
2006
We studied the development, phenology, demography and genetic diversity of Cyperus esculentus (Cyperaceae), an invasive clonal perennial weed in the small-statured crops of Haute Lande, southwestern France. The goal was to understand its colonizing capacity and then make propositions for an integrated management of the species.The colonizing capacity of C. esculentus is linked to the huge subterranean vegetative development, with both foraging thanks to rhizomes and multiplication thanks to tubers. On the other hand, the local crop systems provide all the needs of the species: water, light and nutriments without competition by other weeds. Genetic analyses showed a low genetic diversity and…

La gestion des betteraves adventices résistantes à un herbicide: une approche par simulation
2007
National audience; Les variétés de betteraves sucrières génétiquement modifiées (GM) résistantes à un herbicide sont, a priori, intéressantes dans des champs fortement infestés par la betterave adventice. Cependant, la montée à fleurs de ces betteraves GM peut entraîner l’apparition d’individus résistants, via la dispersion de pollen. Nous avons développé et utilisé le modèle GENESYS-Betterave pour simuler, à l’échelle d’une petite région agricole, l’impact des pratiques culturales sur la dispersion du transgène. Il permet d'identifier des stratégies pour contrôler les adventices et limiter l'apparition de populations résistantes en zone de production de betterave sucrière. L’utilisation de…
Il est possible de produire sans pesticide
2022
Chercheur à l’Inrae Dijon, Stéphane Cordeau est responsable de la plateforme expérimentale CA-SYS, créée en 2018, qui développe des systèmes de production agricole sans pesticide.Réduire de 50 % l’emploi de pesticides d’ici 2030, est-ce atteignable ?2030 c’est demain. Je ne peux pas dire si c’est possible ou pas, en revanche c’est un enjeu de taille. Les dispositifs zéro pesticide que l’on teste sur la plateforme CA-SYS, co-construite avec le monde agricole depuis 2013, visent à éclairer les impasses, les difficultés, les performances, le coût de la transition. On a quatre ans de recul qui démontrent qu’il est possible de produire sans pesticide, mais à des niveaux de productivité plus faib…
Some Plant Defense Stimulators can induce IL-1β production in human immune cells in vitro
2020
8 pages; International audience; Among Plant Protection Products (PPP), a new emerging category of pesticides act by stimulating plant defense in order to improve plant resistance against microbial pathogens. Given that these compounds, the so-called Plant Defense Stimulators (PDS) act on innate immunity, we tested, using an in vitro approach on human mononuclear leucocytes (PBMC), the potential toxicity (XTT assay) and inflammatory effects (production of IL-1β) of 4 PPP belonging to different chemical families. We found that two products (LBG-01F34® and Regalis®) did not induce any cytotoxicity or IL-1 β production. The product BION-50 WG®, that contains Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and sili…
