Introducing ground cover management in pesticide emission modeling Open
Ground cover management (GCM) is an important agricultural practice used to reduce weed growth, erosion and runoff, and improve soil fertility. In the present study, an approach to account for GCM is proposed in the modeling of pesticide e…

Quantifying pesticide emission fractions for tropical conditions Open
The inventory model 'PestLCI Consensus', originally developed for temperate conditions, estimates initial pesticide emission fractions to air, to off-field surfaces by drift deposition, and to field crop and field soil surfaces according t…
Evidence of Chlordecone Resurrection by Glyphosate in French West Indies Open
The widespread use of pesticides in agriculture during the last several decades has contaminated soils and different Critical Zone (CZ) compartments, defined as the area extended from the top of the vegetation canopy to the groundwater tab…
Coupling pesticide emission and toxicity characterization models for LCA: Application to open-field tomato production in Martinique Open
The environmental evaluation of fruits and vegetables in life cycle assessment (LCA) requires a proper estimation of pesticide emissions and associated (eco-)toxicity impacts. In response, we developed an approach to consistently combine s…
Challenges and ways forward in pesticide emission and toxicity characterization modeling for tropical conditions Open
Purpose In tropical cropping systems, pesticides are extensively used to fight pests and ensure high crop yields. However, pesticide use also leads to environmental and health impacts. While pesticide emissions and impacts are influenced b…
Pesticide emission and toxicity models in LCA need to be adapted for tropical regions Open
Currently available Life Cycle Inventory ( LCI) pesticide emission models and Life Cycle Impact Assessment ( LCIA) human toxicity and ( eco) -toxicity characterization models were typically designed and parameterized based on temperate con…
Sociotechnical system analysis of weeding, key step for designing agro-ecological systems at the watershed scale Open
In Martinique (French West Indies) there is high pesticide pressure because of monoculture with high demand of farm inputs, linked to tropical conditions suitable to the growth of pathogens and weeds. This pressure cause high river polluti…
