Decide on a fungicide on wheat with a model in a cereal tree

Use described publicly by France 3 — Alexandre Grenot (Thénac) (4 July 2025), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Alexandre Grenot, farmer at Thénac (Charente-Maritime), joined Océalia's "Sillon Responsable": Xarvio Healthy Fields (BASF) combines AI, satellite, modelling and agronomists to say when to treat, what product, what dose. On 70 hectares of wheat, he did not put fungicide — two treatments avoided.

What was done

France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Stéphanie Vinot and Arnaud Connen de Kerillis, 4 July 2025). Word of farmer associated with his cousin Olivier. Nicolas Orjubin (Xarvio) describes the monitoring plant / dieses / weather station. Cost 90 to 120 €/ha. The 70 ha and the two treatments are the Grenot estimate, unaudited.

The prompt to customise
Plot (facts): [coller culture, stades, météo]. Model advice: [coller].

List 5 points to check in the field before dead end treatment. If a fact is missing, say it. Invent no dose.

What deserves your attention

A model board is not the condition of the plot. Cross-check before stalemate a treatment, and remain responsible for the decision.
