Programme européen C-IPM API-Tree (2017-2020)

L'objectif est de concevoir, expérimenter et évaluer des combinaisons de pratiques de protection alternatives contre les différents ravageurs du pommier pour un gradient de situations allant du nord au sud de l'Europe. Ces pratiques concernent le sol et la plante, l'aménagement de l'habitat pour fournir refuge et nourriture aux auxiliaires, la diversité de plantes hôtes et compagnes, ainsi que des méthodes de lutte biologique. coordinatrice : A. Alaphilippe, INRA UERI Gotheron)

The aim of the project is to design and assess the efficiency and sustainability of combinations of practice alternatives to chemicals for controlling pests in apples. The integrated approach of the project will take into account agro-ecosystem management, orchard design and practices, as well as economic restraints. Such global perspective along with the involvement of growers in the design process is important for further adoption of the redesigned systems, and also to benefit from experienced stakeholders.
