In France, the national program Ecophyto aims to reduce by half the use of pesticides, both in agricultural and non-agricultural areas. Considering this goal, carrot, as an important crop with many putative disorders, is a major vegetable to work on. The Dephy Ecophyto Carrot project was created in order to design and assess cropping systems with carrot as a main crop in regards of environmental, economical and social criterias. Introducing a different type of pest and disease control, it aims to evaluate a coherent group of technical choices instead of separated levers of action. After the first year of experimentation, it has already shown promising results regarding pesticides reduction and pest/disease control, but has highlighted the need to keep track of the economical results which are a key to make these systems adopted by the growers on the long term.
