RESINTBIO device

Planted in 2011, this device which covers 1.8 ha aims to compare three agricultural systems presenting bold features in the use of phytosanitary products:

  • A system growing following the organic agriculture specifications (Merlot variety)
  • A system based upon the use of a variety that resists mildew and powdery mildew (Artaban variety)
  • A conventional reference system in responsible winegrowing (Merlot variety)

This device comprises 3 spatial repetitions for each system, each fundamental plot is made up of 20 ranks of 70 vine stocks on an area of 0.2 ha. 

A lot of data has been collected on this device since 2013: technical itinerary, phenologic stage, grapevine growth dynamics, pest dynamics, yield, etc.

Since 2019, this device is included in the SALSA project led as part of the DEPHY EXPE* network. It aims to conceive and assess winegrowing systems that present a major rupture in the use of phytosanitary products (80% to 100% decrease in IFT, Treatment Frequency Indicator). These systems make use of varietal resistance to the main foliage diseases, natural regulation, herbicide-free soil management and only last-resort treatments. A network of three experimental devices installed in three areas representative of the French vintage allows the assessment of these systems using common indicators of performance and operation.

RESINTBIO is an open and shared device, that can welcome and provide data or plant material to various research projects.
