The In Petto 1 and 2 projects, led by Terres Inovia, Sofiprotéol and the University of Caen, have studied the impact of cultivation practices on the quality of cruciferous seeds. The aim is to offer varieties that meet demand: high oil and protein content, high yields and protein quality. This last point has yet to be explored.
Choosing high-performance, adapted varieties is a crucial lever for improving the competitiveness of lentil and chickpea crops. How can we improve current varieties and create new ones that can adapt to different soil and climate conditions and are more resistant to pests and diseases? Watch the dedicated TI Thursday.
On Thursday 14 December, the projects of the teams shortlisted for the Cap Protéines Challenge 3 were presented. Here are the 5 finalists who attracted the particular interest of the jury and who will be taking part in the final on 14 May at the ESA in Angers.
The 25th edition of the French-speaking days on weed control was held from 5 to 7 December in Orléans. Organised by Végéphyl, the event brought together 250 participants from all walks of life, including three representatives from Terres Inovia.
Mechanical interventions - whether or not combined with herbicides - to control weed infestation in plots are more easily integrated into spring crops. Terres Inovia's aim is to validate effective, low-cost strategies that minimise the treatment frequency index.
The same trend can be seen in spring peas and spring beans: the best-performing varieties are recent, even when the soil and climate conditions are not favourable.
The agronomic diagnosis is based on a range of criteria, including the nitrogen nutrition index. This is an early indicator of the development of a winter or spring pea crop. It can be used to detect plots that have suffered early stress and may not reach their yield potential.
Dans le cadre du Plan France 2030, l’institut a répondu à l’appel à projets « Protéines de légumineuses ». Terres Inovia est ainsi mobilisé dans la stratégie nationale de diversifier les sources de protéines pour contribuer à une alimentation durable favorable à la santé.
The national edition of the December issue, with five articles devoted to oilseeds, is now online and available for consultation.
Terres Inovia participe à ce projet interdisciplinaire, piloté par INRAE, pour fournir des leviers agronomiques, génétiques et technologiques afin d’améliorer la qualité et la production de légumineuses. Financé par l’ANR, ces travaux seront menés pendant six ans. Un accent particulier sera mis sur la féverole, sous-utilisée en alimentation humaine.
Elle rassemble la majeure partie des essais menés par les professionnels agricoles de la région.
Lors des 4èmes Rencontres Oléopro, qui se sont déroulées à Montrouge (Hauts-de-Seine) le 29 novembre, Terres Inovia a valorisé une partie des travaux et des partenariats qu’il tisse sur la scène internationale.
For three years, a PhD student received funding from Nantes University and Terres Inovia to work on the role of soil microorganisms in the interaction between stalked broomrape and winter oilseed rape.
Ce projet qui vient de démarrer est coordonné par Terres Inovia et financé par FranceAgriMer. Il vise à contribuer à l’autonomie protéique des élevages par le développement de la pratique du toastage des matières premières.
Lors de ce colloque, qui s’est déroulé du 7 au 9 novembre à Versailles, Terres Inovia a pu présenter quelques travaux de son Département de transformation et de valorisation des graines.
