Description du projet
Réseau thématique pour l’amélioration des pratiques de pulvérisation
La pulvérisation est une méthode couramment utilisée dans l’industrie agricole pour lutter contre les parasites et prévenir les maladies des cultures. Cependant, si elle n’est pas effectuée avec l’équipement et la formation appropriés, cette technique est susceptible de causer plus de mal que de bien, non seulement aux cultures, mais aussi à l’environnement. Dans ce contexte, le projet INNOSETA, financé par l’UE, vise à établir un réseau thématique innovant et autonome. Ce réseau facilitera la connexion entre les chercheurs et les agriculteurs, ce qui permettra d’améliorer les services de conseil, la formation, la fourniture d’équipements et la maintenance liés à la pulvérisation. En outre, les recherches ont pour objectif de favoriser de nouvelles innovations en remédiant aux inefficacités des progrès scientifiques. En fournissant des données essentielles et une formation aux agriculteurs, le projet entend améliorer la productivité des cultures tout en réduisant la contamination de l’environnement.
Objectif
The aim of this network is to set-up a self-sustainable Thematic Network on Spraying Equipment, Training and Advising designed for the effective exchange between researchers, industry, extension services and farming community. This network will link directly applicable research and commercial solutions and grassroots level needs and innovative ideas thoroughly captured, thus contributing to close the research and innovation divide in this area. The proposed network will be organized to cover spraying application needs in the most commonly used crops in Europe: cereals, vegetables, orchards, vineyards and greenhouses organized in seven national innovation hubs linked with international interactive workshops. This Thematic Network will address important and timely issues that are critical to improve crop productivity and reduce environmental impact. These include spraying equipment, technologies and practical methods to estimate and reduce spray drift and environmental contamination; information and procedures on the benefits of following regular inspections of sprayers in use; new spraying equipment and components to increase the efficacy of the application; practical information and advice on the dose expression dilemma especially for orchard and bush crops; calibration and operation procedures using lively videos and developed interactive training and learning material; classification schemes for sprayers and nozzles to enable farmers and pesticide companies to decide on the most suitable to them nozzle/sprayer/technology combination for certain pesticide application; environmental requirements for new sprayers following ISO 16119; and best management practices acquired over the years from several EU projects and research publications.
