Various systemic fungicides and a non-systemic fungicide (copper ammonium carbonate) were evaluated as possible alternatives to copper-oxychloride and benomyl, for control of preand postharvest diseases of avocados. Foliar applications of cyproconazole, flusilazol or copper ammonium carbonate were as effective in controlling Cercospora spot as copper-oxychloride and benomyl, but were less effec...

Laurent Augusto (INRA) presented the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management policies and the maintenance of soil fertility based on the results of the RESOBIO(1) project (Landmann & Nivet, 2014) which studied the management of harvesting residues and the preservation of soils and biodiversity.
