Abstract

[ES]Los sistemas de agricultura de conservación están asociados al uso de glifosato como prin-cipal herbicida en las explotaciones de leñosos. La reciente polémica sobre sus posibles efectos nocivos en la salud ha aumentado la preocupación de los agricultores ante una posible prohibición de su uso en un futuro cercano. En este trabajo se estima el coste asociado a una eventual prohibición de glifosato para los cultivos de leñosos en Aragón. Se calculan los costes de las estrategias alternativas en agricultura de con-servación para el control de arvenses: tratamientos herbicidas sin glifosato, mínimo laboreo y cubiertas vegetales espontáneas y sembradas. [EN]Conservation agriculture systems are linked to glyphosate as the main herbicide in tree crops. The recent debate on possible negative effects over human health has increased the farmers’ concern about an eventual prohibition of glyphosate in the future. The aim of this paper is to estimate the costs asso-ciated with an eventual prohibition of glyphosate in tree crops of Aragon. The costs of different alternative strategies were calculated: substitution of glyphosate in chemical control, minimum tillage, and natural or planted vegetal covers.
