All our land is ploughed, harrowed or mown without recourse to any sort of weed killer, thus allowing a balanced microbial soil content, a healthy and more resistant plant in a healthy soil. The indispensable treatments against cryptogamic diseases such as oidium and mildew are carried out in a specific way following the principles of sustainable development : careful observation, in depth knowledge of the diseases’ vegetative cycles and a little risk-taking,
