Dynamique et assemblage des communautés adventices : Approche par modélisation statistique
2011
To develop solutions for a productive and sustainable agriculture, principles, theories, andmethods of ecology may contribute to understand the biological processes governing the agroecosystem.The present case study was based on data collected by a network of observatories of weeds covering the whole of France (‘Biovigilance Flore’) and aimed at establishing forrules governing the assemblage and dynamics of weed communities in fields grown with annual crops. We particularly studied the possible relationships between species within acommunity, as well as the relationships between communities and their environment. Analyses were based on species abundances to take account of their effect on c…
Spray droplet characteristics measured using high speed imaging techniques
2016
Presented at Conference International Advances in Pesticide Application (IAPA), Barcelone, ESP (2016-01-13 - 2016-01-15).; International audience; Spray droplet characteristics are important features of an agricultural spray. The objective of this study is to measure the droplet size for different types of hydraulic spray nozzles using a developed backlighted image acquisition system and image processing technique. An in-focus droplet criterion was established to decide whether a droplet is in focus and can be measured in an accurate way. Tests included five different nozzles (Albuz ATR orange and red, TeeJet XR 110 01, XR 110 04 and Al 110 04).
Caractérisation des communautés microbiennes dans les technosols construits pour la restauration des friches industrielles
2012
Increasing soil degradation and its consequences on overall ecosystem services urge for restoration strategies. Construction of Technosols through assemblage of treated soil and industrial wastes is an innovative technology for the restoration of polluted land and re-use of industrial by-products. Recent studies have evidenced that Technosols could support ecosystemic services such as primary production but the knowledge about other soil functions, such as biogeochemical cycling, is limited. Due to the significant contribution of microbial communities to soil functioning, this PhD work was carried out to study the effect of the type of Technosol on microbial communities with a focus on func…
Review of factors influencing the success or failure of biocontrol: technical, industrial and socio-economic perspectives
2010
Communication orale au 11. IOBC-WPRS Meeting of the working group "Biological control of fungal and bacterial plant pathogens". Climate change: challenge or threat to biocontrol?, 2010/06/07-11 ; Graz (AUT).; International audience; Although their role in plant health management is still quite modest, ever increasing expectations are placed on biocontrol agents for the complementation or replacement of pesticide use. Despite decades of research and more than 12,000 scientific papers on biological control of plant diseases, little more than 14 microbe-based commercial products are presently registered for use against diseases in the European Union. Through a review of published scientific li…

Historique des herbicides en France depuis la seconde guerre mondiale
2012
National audience; Au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale, les herbicides ont joué un rôle important dans la réponse du monde agricole aux besoins alimentaires des populations, notamment grâce aux économies de main-d’œuvre et aux facilités de gestion qu’elles ont permises. Pourtant, aujourd’hui, l’agriculture intensive et productiviste fait l’objet d’une remise en cause du fait de son impact sur l’environnement, en particulier sur les ressources en eau (présence de nitrates, substances actives (SA) phytosanitaires). Face à la réglementation européenne et pour répondre aux préoccupations de l’opinion publique, mais aussi du monde agricole, il a été mis en place en France le Plan Ecophyto…

Changements à court terme de la composition des communautés de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules et des populations de Rhizophagus irregularis en…
2014
La mycorhize à arbuscule a un important potentiel d’amélioration de la nutrition minérale des plantes, fort utile dans le contexte agricole. Cependant, certaines pratiques culturales sont connues pour avoir un effet néfaste sur la diversité des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (Glomeromycètes). Il est donc nécessaire de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de leurs communautés et populations pour pouvoir préserver et gérer le potentiel symbiotique. Dans cette étude, nous avons étudié les effets séparés et conjoints du retournement du sol et des fertilisations phosphatée et azotée du sol sur la structure des communautés des Glomeromycètes et sur les populations de l’espèce Rhizophagus irregu…
