“…In addition, Alister et al (2005) reported that water quantity has a significant effect on the quantity of simazine moving downward through a soil in the Mediterranean zone. Nario et al (2009), in a study on the risk of environmental contamination due to the application of pesticides in the same zone, highlighted that runoff is the main process for pesticide transport in the landscape.…”

“…It has been amply demonstrated that anthropogenic landscape structure influences the spatial pattern of hydro-sedimentary transfers from plots to rivers (Gascuel-Odoux et al, 2011;Levavasseur, 2012;Nario et al, 2009;Reulier et al, 2019). While the roles of land-use on soil erosion and sediment routing are well studied, the role of linear drainage infrastructure on the hydro-sedimentary dynamics at catchment scale remains complex and difficult to understand (Carluer & De Marsily, 2004;Dotterweich, 2013;Viaud et al, 2004).…”

Drainage infrastructure is an important element of the agricultural landscape, influencing hydro-sedimentary transfers from plots to rivers. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the description of the main characteristics of drainage networks allows a better understanding of sediment (dis)connectivity. This study focuses on an 8 km 2 catchment in the Beaujolais vineyards (France) that is characterised by a complex drainage network. We applied methods using field surveys, a geographical information system, and graph theory to map and analyse how such man-made infrastructures may act as barriers, buffers, or shortcuts. The catchment shows dense and complex drainage networks characterised by sediment trapping strategies in the upper slopes, and flow concentration and export in the lower slopes. The results exemplify winegrowers' strategies to disconnect sediments sources from the river to preserve soil resources.

“…PRIs can be used either by individuals (growers or pest managers) as a tool in the decision-making process, or by public or private agencies to guide pesticide selection. They have also been applied to assess the environmental impact of a certain pest management program over time or in different places, and to evaluate the impact of agricultural and pesticide policies (Levitan et al 1995;Gallivan et al 2001;Greitens and Day 2007) and to identify changes in environmental risk that require attention (Mouron et al 2006;Nario et al 2009). …”

Various pesticide risk indicators have been developed for estimating pesticide impact on human health and the environment. The present work applied a pesticide risk indicator to estimate change in pesticide risk in apple production between 2001 and 2009. The "Environmental Impact Quotient" was used, which evaluates potential impacts of pesticide active ingredients on farm workers, consumers, and nontarget organisms. A modified Environmental Impact Quotient was also tested, which accounts for all ingredients in the formulation presenting a health or environmental hazard, as identified in the Security Data Sheet. Irrespective of the rating system applied, an overall average improvement in environmental impact of apple protection strategies was indicated ranging from 23 to 24%. Hazard reduction was more significant when estimated per treatment, and was higher for acaricides and insecticides than for fungicides. Improvement appeared to be a consequence of using more selective and more effective active ingredients, applying alternative pest control techniques, compulsory periodic sprayer calibration, and wider use of dwarfing orchards. The modified Environmental Impact Quotient does not overcome all limitations regarding accuracy of pesticide risk indicators, but its ease of use in relying on official, easily accessible data, and the consistency of its results, makes it a good candidate for monitoring the success of reduced risk policies.
