Lavender field under harvest - Stock-Fotografie

Lavandula angustifolia. Provence lavender field at point of harvest. There are around 30 types of lavender, producing flowers of varying colours. The most widely grown is lavandin, a hybrid. In 2013 France has 1,700 lavender producers working 16,000 hectares of lavandin, along with another 4,000 hectares of strictly controlled "pure" lavender. The lavender industry sustains an estimated 10,000 jobs. Between 2007 and 2010, production of lavandin, used in soaps, perfumes, insect repellents, essential oils and herbes de Provence ?has halved.The cause is a mini cicada called a cicadelle which has proliferated because of hotter summers, blamed on global warming. The cicadelle lays its eggs several centimetres below the plants. The young insects feed on the roots and the adult insects feed on the plants, both transmitting what scientists know as the stolbur phytoplasma. This significantly reduces the productivity and lifespan of the plants. This has a great significance for agriculture and tourism.
