CONTEXT
Why understand and optimize plant nutrition
The conventional agronomic system approaches the plant’s nutrition mechanism by giving a great importance to the input supply, often focused on the nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium tryptic.
This training course proposes to adopt a new point of view by reconsidering the importance of all the elements of the plant and their role in the development mechanism. Also, this training course is an opportunity to understand the fundamental mechanisms for its growth and the importance of soil life to ensure its nutrition. Moreover, good nutrition is the basis a healthy and productive plant.
All these agronomic aspects are important for establishing a logical, comprehensive and balanced agronomic approach and build efficient cropping systems.
Afterwards, this training course should make it possible to evolve towards the implementation of agro-ecological practices and to reduce the use of inputs (fertilizers, phytosanitary products in particular).

TRAINING PLAN
From knowledge to the implementation of a progress approach
1. Master the agronomic bases of nutrition and plant development
-
The plant and the nutritional elements (respective roles and reserves)
-
Plant nutrition and development, fundamental mechanisms
-
Plant growth, health and resistance, understand the relationship between these parameters
2. Implement a progress approach on exploitation
-
The different axes of the method
-
Action levers and corresponding solutions

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
