Réduire l’emploi des produits phytosanitaires en verger de pommier - Les enseignements du réseau national EXPE Ecophyto Pomme

27 production systems, located on six places in France, compose the national apple network EXPE Ecophyto. The study aims to acquire technical and economic references to reduce the use of pesticides and limit detectable residues on fruits. The main mobilized technics are genetics (varietal resistance), cultural practices (prophylaxis), biocontrol products, efficiency (models and decision thresholds, doses modulation, spraying techniques), physical protections (Alt’Carpo nets, rain covers), mechanization (mechanical weed control), beneficial insects (released or by preservation). The economic systems are led with an integrated fruit protection program or in an organic way.
On an average of five years, 12 systems (on 19) reached a percentage of reduction of the total chemical treatment frequency indicator (in French : IFT) of more than 50 % with regard to the reference. On the other hand, just 7 systems are considered as economic and efficient systems (in French : SCEP2). Among those, only the 3 organic systems present an equal or upper economic profit than the incurred production costs.
