1. Presentation

Characterization of the technique

Description of the technique:

This technique practiced in vineyard allows reducing the amount of product applied while improving the quality of the treatment, thanks to the use of specialized equipment, the sprayers with recovery panels. The sprayer allows treating the row of vineyard on both sides, and the recovery panels limit product losses to the environment. The mixture captured by the panels is then filtered and recycled, allowing substantial savings as they average 40% over the entire season.

3. Effects on the sustainability of the cropping system

"Environmental" criteria

Effect on air quality: Increasing

Less leakage of phytosanitary products into the air

Effect on water quality: Increasing

Less leakage of phytosanitary products into the soil and then into water

"Agronomic" criteria

"Economic" criteria

Operational costs: Decreasing

Savings of about 40% of the amount of product applied.

Margin: Variable

The equipment requires significant investments, which may (or may not) be quickly offset by the savings on phytosanitary products depending on the farm context.

"Social" criteria

Working time: Increasing

The sprayer with recovery panels only allows treating two rows at a time compared to four or six with conventional sprayers. However, the higher application speed (up to 9 km/h) allows under certain conditions to limit the increase in working time.

Effect on farmer health: Increasing

Lower exposure to products.
