RESEARCH PROJECTS

CETEV is involved in collaborative research projects, addressing issues in the non-crop,
arboriculture or forestry sectors. Most projects span over several years and are aimed to find
solutions through tree injection. Always associated to the technical centers of the sector,
we participate as partners or contractors.

PARSADA is the name given to the French National Strategic Chestnut Plan created with the objective to pre-empt the withdrawal of active substances used in Europe and plan the development of alternative techniques for the protection of the orchards.
The CROC (Chestnut Rot Control) project aims at developing methods for the control of chestnut rots through the identification of new biocontrol solutions and suitable application methods in the orchards.

PARSADA is the name given to the French National Strategic Chestnut Plan created with the objective to pre-empt the withdrawal of active substances used in Europe and plan the development of alternative techniques for the protection of the orchards.
The ChatOFor project aims at :
improving knowledge on the biology of boring calerpillars, especially the emerging type.
identifying control methods or cultural practices to control these pests (micro-injection, drone spraying)
supporting growers by providing protection strategies corresponding to the technological and economical challenges in their orchards,

Cetev’s participation in the project alongside :
The MISPA project is :
3 year experimental study of micro-injection in the field, on fruit trees (apple, chestnut, whole nut and kiwi fruit)
study of 7 tree pests/illnesses
one central question to answer: is secured micro-injection an effective and safe application method to control problems in the orchard ?
very high efficacy on rosy apple aphid and walnut and horse nut pests.

Cetev’s participation in the project alongside :
(*) Injection of sanitary protection to protect maritime pines from fruit set loss.
This project is a continuation of the 2018-2021 project (*).
The aim is to understand productivity losses in maritime pine seed orchards and to propose solutions.
CETEV’s role in this project consists in real life experimentation of maritime pine fruit pest control solutions using trunk injection.

Cetev’s participation in the project alongside :
Secured Micro-Injection to protect trees 18th Call for Proposal “Fonds Unique Interministériel” – December 2014-December 2018
The objective of the PREAMISSE project is to study micro-injection as an alternative, in situations where spraying limitations may exist (non crop areas, arboriculture and viticulture).

Cetev’s participation in the project alongside :
The Compamed ZNA program, short for “COMparison of the applied weeding methods within the scope of non crop areas”, consists in evaluating multiple curative weeding techniques.
From 2010 to 2013, running a pole, a national observatory and several experimentations, we gathered the necessary data to evaluate their efficacy and environmental impact in a Life Cycle Analysis.
The results of this program are useful to the professionals in charge of green spaces belonging to local authorities and also the management of infrastructures and industrial sites.
