What is sustainable agriculture?

Sustainable agriculture is a method of farming that respects animal welfare, the environment and consumer health.

Downy mildew is a disease caused by fungi belonging to different genera (Peronospora, Plasmopara, Bremia, Phytophtora...). It causes pale green to brown spots to appear, which gradually spread. The tissues eventually dry out.

Grass cover is the cause of competition for hydro-nitrogen, which can lead to a reduction in vineyard vigour and possibly a reduction in yield. Climate, soil, grass species and vine species all influence this process.

A sprayer is a machine used for spraying liquids, generally plant protection products, to protect crops from wounds and all kinds of diseases. It can be used to treat a wide range of crops, including orchards, vineyards and market gardens.

Powerful and robust, the Class 4 tractor is ideal for heavy-duty work such as deep ploughing, soil cultivation and grape transport. A machine designed to optimise yields while respecting the vines !

A straddle tractor is an agricultural tractor that can straddle 1 or 2 rows of vines. It can be used for spraying leaves, pruning, crushing vine shoots on the ground, tilling the soil, etc.

High Environmental Value (HVE) ensures that the farming practices used throughout the farm preserve ecosystems and limit the impact on the environment (soil, water, biodiversity, etc.).

A progressive approach introduced by the partners of the Grenelle de l'Environnement and defined in decree no. 2011-694 of 20 June 2011, the High Environmental Value certification is based on 4 themes: biodiversity, phytosanitary strategy, fertilisation and water resources management.
