Integrated Weed Management for Reduced Weed Infestations in Sustainable Cropping Systems
Weeds pose a major challenge to the sustainability of agricultural production systems, causing significant crop yield, economic and environmental losses. Chemical weed control tactics play a major role in modern weed management, maintaining the productivity of diverse cropping systems, reducing yield losses and facilitating conservation agriculture. However, the over-reliance on chemical weed control has led to shifts in weed communities in agroecosystems which are now becoming dominated by high competitors and herbicide resistance. Thus, weed scientists and practitioners are urged to develop and incorporate innovative and feasible integrated weed management (IWM) systems that can reduce weed infestations and environmental impacts.
Extended Biocontrol
This book presents an exhaustive overview of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of biocontrol in agriculture. It encompasses all kinds of nature-based approaches for crop protection: introduction and conservation of natural enemies, release of sterile insects, enhancement of plant defenses, use of microorganisms, biopesticides, and semiochemicals. Cutting-edge knowledge in population biology, microbial ecology, epidemiology and chemical ecology is presented in accessible terms. The potential of field application is discussed with regard to practical aspects but also socioeconomic constraints. The 62 authors are researchers from a large panel of disciplines, from theoretical biology to social sciences.
Statistical Approaches for Hidden Variables in Ecology
The study of ecological systems is often impeded by components that escape perfect observation, such as the trajectories of moving animals or the status of plant seed banks. These hidden components can be efficiently handled with statistical modeling by using hidden variables, which are often called latent variables. Notably, the hidden variables framework enables us to model an underlying interaction structure between variables (including random effects in regression models) and perform data clustering, which are useful tools in the analysis of ecological data. This book provides an introduction to hidden variables in ecology, through recent works on statistical modeling as well as on estimation in models with latent variables. All models are illustrated with ecological examples involving different types of latent variables at different scales of organization, from individuals to ecosystems. Readers have access to the data and R codes to facilitate understanding of the model and to adapt inference tools to their own data.

Les légumineuses pour des systèmes agricoles et alimentaires
Que savons-nous des apports et du potentiel des légumineuses vis-à-vis de la durabilité des systèmes agricoles et alimentaires ? Comment les utiliser pour réduire les dommages et maximiser les bénéfices sur l’environnement, l’agriculture et l’homme ? Cet ouvrage de référence alimente la réflexion sur les sources protéiques, sur la gestion de l’azote en France, et sur la relation entre légumineuses et durabilité
Gestion durable de la flore adventice des cultures
Trop longtemps dépendante des seuls herbicides, l’agriculture doit évoluer vers une gestion des plantes adventices qui s’appuie sur un ensemble de pratiques culturales et de régulations écologiques intégrant tous les enjeux environnementaux.Cet ouvrage explore les moyens et stratégies de gestion durable des plantes sauvages des champs faisant appel aux principes de la protection intégrée et à une démarche « agroécologique ».
L'agriculture de conservation des sols
L’agriculture de conservation des sols est au cœur des débats sur le rôle de l’agriculture dans la préservation de la qualité des sols et de la biodiversité, la nécessaire réduction de l’usage des produits phytopharmaceutiques, ainsi que dans l’atténuation et l’adaptation au changement climatique. Dans sa définition la plus stricte, cette forme d’agriculture met en œuvre trois grands principes : la non-perturbation du sol, la diversité des espèces cultivées et une couverture maximale des sols par des cultures et des couverts vivants ou morts. S’appuyant sur les recherches les plus récentes à travers le monde, cet ouvrage fait un état des lieux des connaissances...
