Transdisciplinarity (TDS) is claimed to be a necessary condition to support the agroecological transition. Based on an analysis of the literature and a cross-reading of seven French transdisciplinary case-studies, we point out the tensions generated by real TDS activity, especially when combining the logic of actions from researchers and...

Root-knot nematodes are causing serious economic losses of vegetable production. Actual agroecological control solutions are not effective enough to control this pest or are difficult to implement in farms. There is little knowledge on the use of crops to trap nematodes in protected cultivation systems. Therefore, we tested a resistant pepper...

The current restrictions on the use of chemical nematicides have contributed to increased root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) problems in horticultural crops. In this context, plant resistance (R) appears as the most effective method of control, but the restricted number of cultivated vegetable species with root-knot nematode R-genes...

Design and assessment of innovative Mediterranean vegetable cropping systems to manage root-knot nematodes Description of the subject. A system approach based on co-design and experimental field evaluation of cropping systems (CSs), combining technical and varietal innovations, has been implemented for sustainable management of root-knot...

Root-knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogyne spp.) is a major disease in sheltered vegetable crops, present on about 40% of the southern France farms (survey 2007 -2010). As most chemical nematicide products are now banned, it is necessary to find alternative solutions using agronomical techniques. New prototypes of cropping systems have been built...

Despite the challenges of reducing the use of plant protection products to protect human health and the environment, the transition of market garden farms to agroecological cropping systems is proving difficult, particularly on farms oriented towards long distribution channels. How can we massify and accelerate their agroecological transition?...
