Landscape composition and farming practices affect the abundance of the codling moth and its predation and parasitism in apple orchards
2016
National audience; There is increasing recognition that landscape management could contribute to sustainable pest control. However, while many studies indicate that the proportion of semi-natural habitat over the landscape correlates positively with the abundance and diversity of natural enemies in elds, results are more equivocal concerning the reduction of pest abundance. This last result is possibly due to the diversity of land-use intensity in the landscapes. In the present studies, we assessed whether amount of semi-natural habitat and pesticide use at both local and landscape scales a ected the abundance of codling moth (Cydia pomonella, lepidoptera), its parasitism and predation of s…
Characterization of field isolates of Trichoderma antagonistic towards Rhizoctonia solani
2009
Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 is a phytopathogenic fungus causing damping off and root rot in sugar beet. The disease occurs in the form of patches. In monoculture, these patches are highly mobile and never occur at the same place where they were observed the previous year. The soil from within patches was found more suppressive towards the disease than soil from healthy area. Comparison of the microbial genetic structures between the different soil samples suggested that Trichoderma spp. were involved in the increased suppressiveness. Trichoderma spp. are well known for their antagonistic activities. The aim of the present study was to characterize sixteen Trichoderma isolates isolated from wi…
Molecular characterization of cyclic and obligate parthenogens in the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.)
1996
Holocyclic clones of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) reproduce by cyclic parthenogenesis, whereas anholocyclic individuals are obligate parthenogens. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers in R . padi as well as plasmid DNA markers of its bacterial endosymbiont, Buchnera aphidicola , were examined to determine the extent of genetic divergence between clones with these differing breeding systems. These analyses revealed that cyclically parthenogenetic lineages possessed differing mtDNA and plasmid haplotypes than most obligately asexual clones. The extent of sequence divergence between these maternally inherited molecules suggests a relatively ancient origin…
Ultrafiltration as a Means to Investigate Copper Resistance Mechanisms in Soil Bacteria
1999
Copper is a trace element of major concern for agricultural soils. It exhibits a high toxicity against microorganisms and is widely introduced into soils as a component of pesticide treatments or urban wastes such as sewage sludges or refuse composts. In most French vineyards, “Bordeaux mixture” (copper sulfate) has been applied for more than a century, sometimes leading to copper concentrations in soils much higher than the threshold values (100 mg kg−1 in France). Microorganisms exposed to high concentrations of copper or other trace elements are known to develop resistance mechanisms and represent a suitable material for the study of such processes, both at a physiological and molecular …
Une classification unifiée des produits de protection des plantes
2018
CONTEXTE - La classificationdes PPP (produits de protectiondes plantes) par mode d’actionest un outil pour faciliter le suiviet la gestion de leurs ENI (effetsnon intentionnels) en particulierdes résistances de bioagresseurs à ces produits. Il existeactuellement plusieurs classifications, chacune concernantun seul type d’utilisation (herbicide, insecticide/acaricide,fongicide). Selon son usage,un même mode d’action, voireune même substance, est alorsrépertorié(e) dans des classifications différentes.PROPOSITION - Dans le butde faciliter le suivi et la gestiondes effets non intentionnelsdes PPP, cet article présenteune nouvelle classification deces produits :– unifiée, exhaustive, intégrée,«…
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…

Analyse des effets du paysage et des abondances régionales de bioagresseurs sur les niveaux d’usage phytosanitaires en grandes cultures et polycultur…
2021
National audience; L’utilisation massive de pesticides en agriculture engendre des problèmes environnementauxet sanitaires. Le plan Ecophyto II lancé en 2015 ambitionne une réduction de l’usage depesticides grâce d’une part à la généralisation et à l’optimisation des techniques identifiéescomme favorables à cette réduction et d’autre part à l’initiation de changements profonds dessystèmes de cultures et des filières. L’enjeu de la thèse est d’identifier des systèmes de culturesqui permettent de réduire la dépendance aux produits phytosanitaires mais aussi de biencomprendre les conditions de contextes paysagers et de pressions de bioagresseurs danslesquels ces systèmes sont performants.
