« The sustainable management of plant health is one of the main research topics of SFR Quasav (Structure Fédérative de Recherche Qualité et Santé du Végétal). Since 1998, the LEVA group (Legumes, plant ecophysiology, agro-ecology) conducted research in this field. LEVA is a unit of the Ecole Supérieure  d’Agricultures of Angers under contract with INRA. Their research is aimed at addressing several major societal challenges: reducing the use of nitrogen fertilizers and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing protein production and improving the resilience of cropping systems.

 The research done by LEVA laboratory into legume-based intercrops is recognised at a national and international level.  Their work aims to improve nitrogen resource management, soil biological fertility and weed control in annual crops.  »
