Abstract: By the means of (i) a national data base providing information about the vineyard management practices of more than 5000 vine growers in France (for years 2006 and 2010) and (ii) data characterizing the main wine producing regions, the authors analyze the factors likely to explain the intensity of pesticide use in the French vineyard.
