ECOHERBI
Interactive web tool to use less herbicides
Alain RODRIGUEZ
ACTA

2. Many choices are possibles but farmers keep the hand
What for ?
Help farmers to find and combine the bests and accurates practices to reduce herbicides using in arable crops
For Training courses, workshop or brainstorming
Use it with your advisor
Many choices are possibles but farmers keep the hand

3. Technical workflow for weed control Technical informations …
What does he give ?
Crops succession
In the intercrop :
Cover crop, false seed, soil managment, tillage, delaying sowing…)
For each crop:
Technical workflow for weed control
For each practice:
Technical informations …
Link : ecoherbi.florad.org/
But it’s a prototype and you need a code to access.
Feel free to tell me by mail at : and I will give it to you

4. Just a page of presentation…with name of partners
Others usefull/interesting links
Some weeds informations 
Covercrop/seedbank applied reseach project « Vancouver »

5. Here you can choose you pedo-climatic area
Here you can choose you pedo-climatic area. This tool is developped for few standards couples soil/weather in France, it need to be extended

7. Here you can choose
Which practices you could use
Faux semis : false seedbed
Couvert interculture : intercrop cover
Décaler la date de semis : delayed sowing
what kind of material you have or you can buy to know how you could use it in the crops (e.g. arrow)
Herse étrille : harrow
Bineuse : hoe
Bineuse à céréales : cereals hoe
Herbisemis : sowing and in the same time spraying herbicides only on the row
Désherbineuse : herbicides in the row and hoe in the inter-row

8. First line : the crop rotation before changing
Others lines
Suggest few crops rotations with their evaluation (number of stars)
Faisabilité : feasibility
Désh méca : possibilities of using mechanical weed control
Filière : marketing production
HHPP : winter crop / Spring Crop alternance WC-WC / SC-SC for weeds managment
Diversité : diversity of crop (brodleaves/grasses) …

9. After choosing a successsion crops
You can see if each alternative practive is accurate between 2 crops and why it is not eventually a good idea (next slide)

10. Here are somme comments about the succession crop by couple (is there any trouble?)
Why can’t I use this practice (in red or yellow) between those 2 crops (time avaible, soil conditions, pests managment….)

11. Back to the main page by clicking on a crop you choose how you can reduce herbicide in the technicals operations (next slide)

12. You can adapt your reducing herbicides level
for example :
T01 is all mechanical weed control (pré-emerging blind harrow / cotyledon (harrow) / 2 leaves (hoe) etc.
T11 is a mixted itinerary : 2 leaves herbicides post emergence and finishing with hoe…
In grey optionals operations (but some are frequently usefull)
Clicking on the link (nexts slides…)

13. By clicking on practice you go to a main page with a little introductive text and usefull links to know more about
