Axis 1

To deepen knowledge of the biology, ecology, and population dynamics of wireworms and associated organisms in order to understand the associated risk factors

Actions

  • Multi-year monitoring of wireworm population dynamics and associated organism communities (functional biodiversity) at the rotation scale across a network of plots (pilot sites)

​​

  • In-depth study of risk factors on a network of agricultural plots (plot surveys)

​​

  • Development of models for assessing the risk of infestation and/or damage for the production of decision support tools (DSTs)

​​

  • Development of a molecular tool for characterising and studying harmful species of wireworms, as well as their level of harmfulness. Farming (5 species of Agriotes)​

For this first video, we went to meet Mickaël Lefranc, a UniLasalle/ARVALIS PhD student at the AGHYLE laboratory (UP 2018 C.101).

​​​​

His main aim: to gain a better understanding of wireworms so we can manage them more effectively!
