Optimisation des application au vignoble au stade précoce : tests sur la vigne artificielle EvaSapry Viti

Suprofruit. 13th Workshop on Spray Application in Fruit Growing, Lindau, DEU, 15-/07/2015 - 18/07/2015International audienceIn order to deliver advices to vine farmers concerning the adaptation of spraying practices to the vegetation features, IFV, IRSTEA and the network of Chambers of Agriculture from Hérault, Gard and Pyrénées-Orientales areas have carried out several experimental tests on the artificial vine EvaSprayViti. A focus has been made on the early growth stage treatments for which room for improvement is the widest. the spray application performance was checked through quantitative deposition measurement by using a dye tracer in the tank mix

Physical exercise for late-life major depression

Background Interventions including physical exercise may help improve the outcomes of late-life major depression, but few studies are available. Aims To investigate whether augmenting sertraline therapy with physical exercise leads to better outcomes of late-life major depression. Method Primary care patients (465 years) with major depression were randomised to 24 weeks of higher-intensity, progressive aerobic exercise plus sertraline (S+PAE), lowerintensity, non-progressive exercise plus sertraline (S+NPE) and sertraline alone. The primary outcome was remission (a score of 410 on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression). Results A total of 121 patients were included. At study end, 45% of participants in the sertraline group, 73% of those in the S+NPE group and 81% of those in the S+PAE group achieved remission (P = 0.001). A shorter time to remission was observed in the S+PAE group than in the sertraline-only group. Conclusions Physical exercise may be a safe and effective augmentation to antidepressant therapy in late-life major depression
