Online resource center for alternatives to glyphosate use
Online resource center for alternatives to glyphosate use
The reduction of the use of phytosanitary products (commonly called pesticides) constitutes a strong citizen expectation and a necessity to preserve our health and biodiversity. Governments commit to global action plans for the reduction of the use of plant protection products and decide to put an end to the main uses of glyphosate.
In order not to leave farmers in a dead end, a resource center has been created in France to make available to the entire agricultural profession the existing solutions to get out of glyphosate. The Glyphosate Resource Center is an interactive platform that presents the main existing alternatives to glyphosate and more generally to herbicides. The resources are available and presented by major production sector, such as field crops, viticulture, arboriculture, vegetables, horticulture/medicinal plants and tropical cultures. Resources include review articles for a given use, data sheets on a specific alternative, feedback, videos, etc. Whether you are a farmer, an advisor, a teacher or a student interested in herbicide-saving weed management, you can use this tool to become a contributor and share your questions or experiences in the discussion forum.
