L'irrigation peut répondre à d'autres objectifs que la lutte contre la sécheresse. [...] En hiver, la submersion pendant 90 jours de vignes non greffées, dite «franches de pied» permet de détruire la forme radicole du Phylloxéra. En été, la pullulation de certains parasites est favorisée, soit par la sécheresse de l'air (acariens) soit par son humidité (maladies cryptogamiques). L'adoption de telle ou telle méthode d'irrigation présente donc une importance suivant que le feuillage est mouillé ou non et un choix judicieux peut entraîner la réduction du nombre de traitements pesticides. 3, record 7, French, - submersion
