Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Three types of pesticide use trajectories were identified.
- Observation One trajectory comprised farms with high initial TFI and a large TFI reduction.
- Observation A second trajectory comprised farms starting with low TFI and reducing it progressively.
- Observation A third trajectory comprised low initial TFI farms without significant pesticide use change.
- Association Fungicide application and biocontrol changes differed by trajectory type.
- Observation The surveys recorded 76 practices implemented by winegrowers.
- Observation The main practices involved dose reduction, product choice, stopping herbicides and optimizing spraying.
- Observation Cluster 2 farms mostly redesigned their cropping systems.
- Observation Cluster 3 farms mostly adopted efficiency practices.
- Association Farm context affected changes in practice.
