As part of the Aglaé project run by the Occitanie Regional Chamber of Agriculture, Terres Inovia has produced a fact sheet on the experience of a farmer, Sébastien Demas, a member of the Syppre Lauragais network, who uses plant cover crops before sunflower.
How can agroecological practices be improved in the field? The Aglaé project, in which Terres Inovia is participating, aims to provide a benchmark of innovative agroecological practices, tested in various production contexts in Occitania.
The project's strong point? These innovations are validated by a committee of experts including teachers, technical and research institutes, cooperatives, traders and chambers of agriculture, to assess their performance and the risks involved in implementing them on farms in the region.
Some thirty testimonials were the subject of summary sheets focusing on two areas:
- Reducing the use of phytosanitary products
- Improving soil quality
As an active partner of Aglaé, Terres Inovia has just produced a fact sheet on plant cover before sunflowers. Sébastien Delmas, a farmer in Montaut (31) and a member of the SYYPRE Lauragais farmer group run by Terres Invoia, shows how he has integrated cover crops into his cropping system, and how they contribute to the success of sunflowers, with detailed practices. In particular, the factsheet highlights the economic results, advantages and disadvantages of this innovative practice.
