REVATRA: Transition of the Almond Orchard to agro-ecology through redesign.

REVATRA project is based on the design of an innovative, multi-performing agrosystem with the aim of reducing IFT from 60% to 80%. This objective has been achieved, mainly through the reduction of insecticides. Regular monitoring of pests and their auxiliaries, the use of a woven tarpaulin and the installation of a net were the main levers used. The latter also makes it possible to consider the management of other almond pests. The management of fungal diseases is still under "chemical" control, with a very slight reduction in treatments through monitoring of climatic conditions. Planting costs are against the innovative agrosystem. The two years of frosts had a severe impact on production in both systems, preventing us from carrying out an economic study.
