Résumé : For several decades, growing bananas in the French West Indies and elsewhere in the world has almost systematically involved the use of chemical pesticides derived from fossil fuels. These intensive cropping systems have had concerning health and environmental impacts. Today's banana farms are using several alternatives ways to herbicides in order to manage weeds. Mowing and cutting spontaneous covers are certainly the most widespread. These farms have drastically reduced their use of herbicides in order to prepare for the phasing out of active ingredients. The aim of this study was to establish a link between farming practices and plant cover in order to optimise the floristic composition of the cover with species that can provide ecosystem services to the banana plantation.
