Expérimentation de miscanthus

Experimental setup

Location of the drinking water catchment area (AAC)

The Mérobert CA was selected for the study to establish a miscanthus plantation.
A miscanthus plot was established in the Mérobert AAC, located in the village of St-Georges-sur-Eure, not far from Chartres. The selected plot is equipped with drains that serve as lysimeters to carry out regular monitoring of nitrates and pesticide residues (active ingredients and degradation products) from previous crops that are present in the water. Prior to planting, on-site water flow measurements were taken to ensure that the water flow at the drains is sufficient for the measurements to be conducted properly.
