- Protect biodiversity
Protecting fauna and flora
Biodiversity covers all forms of life on the planet and the relationships that exist between them. At a time when it is threatened, we know that the most diverse natural spaces are those that are most resistant to disturbances, hence a strong desire to implement measures to protect fauna and flora.
Protection measures
Among these measures, the creation of varied habitats, allowing to accommodate numerous species, to constitute wine ecosystems... with the key benefits for the environment, but also direct positive impacts for the vine. Indeed, biodiversity leads to better regulation of cryptogamic diseases and pests, through the intervention of the vine's auxiliaries.
This is the case, for example, of the bat, which is capable of ingesting more than a third of its weight in insects in one night, thus helping to fight against the European grapevine moth.
In the soil, maintaining a rich life, with many micro-organisms, is also helped by the presence of earthworms. The latter participate in the degradation of organic matter, aeration of the soil, drainage of water, promoting good nutrition of the vines, but monitoring their population is also a very useful bio-indicator of the state and use of the soil.
