Current on-farm glyphosate uses and alternative practices in France
National audience ; With more than 7.500 tons sold in 2016 for agricultural uses, glyphosate is the most widely-used herbicide ingredient in France (Rboud et al., 2017). It is also a subject of public concern, regarding its potential hazards for human health and environment. Thus, in 2017, the French government took the decision to banish glyphosate within three years. This decision challenged Farmers using it toward the redesign of their cropping systems, in order to control weeds without glyphosate. In this context, we aimed at better describing the current uses of glyphosate in arable systems, and at identifying existing alternatives already implemented on farm.
