For societal and environmental reasons, more and more winegrowers want to abandon the use of synthetic plant protection products and are turning to products authorised for organic viticulture to protect their vines. The aim of this project is to test, centralise and disseminate practices, developments and trials carried out by winegrowers, cantonal advisers and researchers, as well as to optimise plant protection without synthetic products and to reduce or replace the use of controversial biological products such as copper.
The project focuses on 3 main areas:
The project will contribute to a reduction in the use of synthetic plant protection products and copper through the objective evaluation and wide dissemination of effective biological control strategies.
