Organic Vineyards Seek Alternatives to Copper Fungicides Amidst Health Concerns
Autrefois sauveur de vignoble, ce métal est désormais dans le collimateur des autorités, avec une quinzaine de produits phytosanitaires retirés du marché. Dans le Val de Loire, la filière tente de s’adapter.
Organic winemakers in the Loire Valley are actively searching for solutions to protect their vines from mildew, as copper-based treatments, once a staple, are now under scrutiny due to health concerns. Approximately fifteen phytosanitary products containing copper have been withdrawn from the market. This situation forces the sector to adapt and explore alternative, potentially less harmful methods for disease control in viticulture.
This highlights the challenges faced by organic agriculture in balancing effective pest control with environmental and health regulations, driving innovation in sustainable farming practices.
