Management of resistant cultivars.

Management of resistant cultivars.

We test in at the orchard scale various strategies to protect the efficacy of resistant genes over years.

Control strategies are based on combination of mixed cultivars, prophylaxy, low fungicide inputs in order to attain the objective of Ecophyto 2018 project that is an input reduction of 50%. Models constructed in the team allow to optimize spatial cultivars deployment at the orchard scale in order to reduce scab disease epidemic.
