En contexte de grandes cultures céréalières et industrielles du nord de la France, 7 systèmes de culture mis en place sur la station agronomique d'Estrées-Mons (80) ont été suivis de 2018 à 2024 afin d'évaluer un gradient de réduction de la protection phytosanitaire via le recours à des leviers agronomiques compensateurs. L'expérimentation mise en ...
Groundwater aquifers worldwide experience unsustainable depletion, compounded by population growth, economic development, and climate forcing. Managed aquifer recharge provides one tool to alleviate flood risk and replenish groundwater. However, concerns grow that intentional flooding of farmland for groundwater recharge, a practice known as Ag-MAR...
The intensification of agriculture has promoted the simplification and specialization of agroecosystems, resulting in negative impacts such as decreasing landscape heterogeneity and increasing use of plant protection products (PPP), with the acceleration of PPP transfers to environmental compartments and loss in biodiversity. In this context, the p...
Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL), Hermetia Illucens, are increasingly used as a new feed source in the EU. BSFL was proven to be able to convert and then recycle biowaste into high-quality nutrients for the feed industry. However, biowaste usually contains a lot of chemical hazards. Although BSFL are fed with these biowaste, the fate of the contamin...
Pesticide applications in agriculture result in complex mixtures of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) in the environment. The ecotoxicological effects of these mixtures can occur at concentrations considered safe for individual chemicals, indicating potential risks underestimated by current regulatory assessments focused on individual active ingredi...
Accurately estimating the risk of sensitive populations subjected to toxicant disturbances is central to our ability to protect ecosystem services. While the gold standard for assessing risk historically involves static measures such as the LD50 or LC50, more sophisticated approaches have been developed in an attempt to capture more nuanced outcome...

The extensive utilization of pesticides in agriculture has resulted in the presence of pesticide residues in food and feed, which poses a significant threat to human health. Various physical and chemical methods have been proposed to remove pesticides, but most of these methods are either costly or susceptible to secondary contamination. Consequent...

The massive use of pesticides in modern agriculture has led to their presence in ecosystems with residuals found in the environment as well as in various taxa. But, few studies have investigated the contamination levels of pesticides in diverse taxa as well as several compartments of the environment in the same farmland, and even less have concomit...
The widespread and excessive use of pesticides in modern agricultural practices has caused pesticide contamination of the environment, animals, and humans, with confirmed serious health consequences. This study aimed to identify the 20 most critical substances based on an analysis of detection frequency (DF) and median concentrations (MC) across en...
