Integrating lentils and chickpeas into your crop rotations: a strategic agronomic choice
Lentils and chickpeas are economical, high-performance crops that improve soil fertility, break pest and disease cycles and offer secure outlets. Adapted to the pedoclimatic context of the South-West of France, the training course offers theoretical contributions and visits to master technical itineraries and integrate these legumes in a sustainable way.

Program:

Introduction to legumes:

  • Definition of legumes and how they work,
  • Role of legumes in soil fertilization and crop rotation.

Growing lentils in the Southwest of France

  • Agronomic characteristics: spring species, low-input crop
  • Typologies (blond, coral, green) and value-adding opportunities
  • Adapting the technical itinerary to regional constraints: soil types, water availability, temperatures, etc.
  • Planting, varietal selection, cultural management, fertilization, protection
  • Harvesting: optimal conditions, equipment settings

Managing chickpeas in the South-West

  • Agronomic, environmental and economic benefits
  • Regionalized technical itinerary: choice of sowing dates, densities, management in dry conditions, harvesting, storage and contracting
  • Area-specific pest and disease management

Focus on organic farming

At the end of the course, participants will be able to :

  • Explain the agronomic functioning of lentil and chickpea crops
  • Identify their agronomic, economic and environmental benefits
  • Choose species and varieties suited to the soil and climate conditions of the South West of France
  • Implement rational crop management: planting, fertilization, weed and pest management
  • Diagnose the main crop accidents
  • Apply good harvesting and post-harvest practices
  • Integrate the specificities of organic farming into the local context

Face-to-face format:

  • In-class technical input: presentations, case studies, interactive discussions

  • Practical application in the field: plot visits, crop observation, etc.

Active methods: Illustrated presentations, debates, questions and answers, feedback

Evaluation: Quizzes, questions and answers, application exercises, individual satisfaction survey, self-assessment

Theoretical support: Lectures, visual presentations, written material given to participants.

Field visits: Analysis of lentil and chickpea crops in real-life conditions, identification of key technical points.

Practical exchanges: Feedback from field experience and group discussions with the trainer.

Quiz, Q&A, application exercise, individual satisfaction survey, self-positioning
