Understanding oilseed crops, even without agricultural training.

Would you like to learn the basics of oilseed crops and are you just starting out in this field, or do you have no agricultural training? Terres Inovia offers you a day of immersive training to better understand the context of these crops.

On the program:

1. General context of oilseeds in France

  • Useful agricultural area (UAA): crop distribution and area trends.

  • Farm typology: size, types of cropping systems, diversity of practices.

  • Socio-economic and regulatory issues: agricultural sectors, public policies, environmental objectives.

2. The different oilseed species

  • Presentation of the main species: rapeseed, sunflower, linseed, camelina, lupin, protein peas, etc.

  • Life cycle and growing conditions specific to each species.

  • Main outlets: food and feed, oils, bioproducts.

3. Agronomic characteristics and phytosanitary issues

  • Limiting production factors: soil, climate, varietal choice.

  • Main pathogens and insects: identification, impact on crops, observable signs.

  • Appropriate cropping practices: rotation, planting, fertilization, integrated pest management.

  • Specificities of the sector: technical constraints, key points for securing production.

4. Practical approach and discussion

  • Simplified case studies illustrating real situations in the field.

  • Discussions and exchanges on the industry ecosystem and farming practices.

  • Putting technical issues into perspective for the industry's support professions and partners.

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

  • Understand the general context of agriculture in France and its socio-economic and environmental challenges.

  • Identify and understand the main oilseed and protein crop species, their growth cycle, agronomic needs and outlets.

  • Understand agronomic characteristics and phytosanitary constraints, particularly pathogens and insects.

  • Put into perspective the cultivation practices needed to limit risks and ensure crop success.

  • Familiarize yourself with the challenges and workings of the oilseed and protein industry, so you can communicate more effectively with agricultural players.

Face-to-face format: classroom sessions with illustrated presentations and case studies.

Active methods: presentations, discussions, Q&A, case studies.

Evaluation: quiz, Q&A, practical exercises, self-assessment, individual satisfaction survey.

Theoretical support: presentations, training documents given to participants.

Case studies: real-life situations analyzed collectively.

Practical exchanges: feedback between participants and trainers to enhance knowledge.

Q&A, quiz, individual satisfaction survey, self-positioning
