ABSTRACT- This study concerns an integrated vineyard parcel where some different pesticides are used in a sustainable approach. The aim of this research is to apply the LCIA methodology to compare impacts of two fungicides, herbicides and insecticides used in a 10 acres parcel and to spatialise the LCIA results with a GIS. We will analyse the impacts of these pesticides to the atmosphere, to soils and their possible reverse effects to human health. This poster will present the methodological approach to assess impacts and first results.

Key words: pesticides, LCIA, integrated vineyard, GIS
