Please share this website with your friends and family and anyone else who might be interested in integrated farming methods.

Euphytia : INRA portal, an encyclopaedia on the identification of crop pests and the most relevant protection methods. http://ephytia.inra.fr/fr/Home/index

APREL : Experimental station located in the PACA region specialising in “the implementation of experimental programmes in response to the needs of the regional market gardening sector”. The website is freely accessible and “includes all technical information and trial reports, which are constantly updated”. “Each year, the varietal and phytosanitary protection recommendation sheets are updated and widely distributed to producers and the entire sector. Numerous technical sheets on all vegetable plants. An essential website to follow the evolution of new varieties and biocontrol methods.. https://www.aprel.fr/aprel.php
