Our Oper8 consortium gathered during 2 days for their last Annual meeting in South-West of France, in the Gaillac and Fronton wine sectors, and was hosted by IFV team.
First day was busy with many field visits, showcasing several alternative weed control solutions for viticulture: exogenous mulch trials by IFV, mechanical weeding, subsurface irrigation, and Spring frost management in @Château Bouissel, then under-row cover crop trial, electrical weeding machine and weeding robots talks by Christophe Gaviglio and Laure Gontier, IFV experts for the project.
Many discussions and questions led to fruitful experience for all partners. The second day was indoor, dedicated to an overview of past tasks and current tasks requirements. Feedback on the project ended the meeting by going around the table and hearing each participants suggestions to carry on Horizon-Europe projects.
