The environmental acceptability of horticultural crops is questioned today, particularly with regard to the use of pesticides. The OTELHO project has developed a S@M decision support tool, useful for crop monitoring and knowledge of epidemics, an essential step in decision making. To meet the environmental and health challenges, DEPHY EXPE project partners have built both an experimental network and a co-design-centered work method to test the S@M tool and characterize a combination of technical viable solutions to significantly reduce the use of pesticides in horticulture. The work was conducted both in experimental station and in farms on three systems, potted plants, gerbera cut flowers, rose cut flowers. After six years of prototyping the OAD S@M various decision support modules are now stabilized and used by the experimenters and business consultants. Trials on different cropping systems made it possible to validate combinations of levers under certain conditions to reduce the use of pesticides by more than 50%.
