COLZA'Live: Understanding rapeseed crop management in 7 sequences

Description

Whether you're a beginner or want to update your knowledge, COLZA Live training offers you a complete understanding of rapeseed growing. Thanks to 7 short, interactive sequences, led by experts, you can acquire the essential skills to optimize your farming practices, all in digital format.

Sequence 1: Introduction to the crop and planting

• Global context of rapeseed growing and associated agricultural issues

• The challenges of rapeseed establishment, the benefits of a robust rapeseed and the key conditions to be achieved, the keys to choosing the optimum establishment techniques according to the context.

Sequence 2: Fertilization

• Rapeseed specificities with regard to nitrogen supply

• Calculation of spring nitrogen dose (Réglette azote colza®) and choice of fractioning strategy

• Rationalization of phosphate, potassium and sulfur fertilization

• Rapeseed needs in trace elements; focus on boron and molybdenum

Sequence 3: Spring pests

• Presentation of the different spring pests: description and development cycle.

• Presentation of the main management strategies

• Presentation of preventive measures (agronomic levers) to limit the impact of pests.

• Nuisibility, risk assessment during the season (presentation of Decision Support Tools and decision rules) and decision-making.

• Choice of insecticides

• Prospects for biocontrol solutions

• Presentation of the main natural enemies.

Sequence 4: Spring diseases

• Review of the main spring diseases: Sclerotinia, Oidium, Alternaria, Mycosphaerella, Phoma, etc.

• Study of the biological cycle and harmfulness of these diseases.

• Control methods available as part of integrated crop protection.

Sequence 5 : Weed control

• Description of the main agronomic control methods.

• Development of herbicide control strategies adapted to weed flora.

• Grass control: Ray-Grass & Vulpin

• Presentation of mechanical control methods and mixed weed control strategies.

Sequence 6: Harvesting and yield components and ecophysiological aspects

• Strategies to limit harvest losses.

• Presentation of the swathing technique to optimize rapeseed harvesting.

• Explanation of the year's yields: rapeseed yield components and favorable factors.

Sequence 7: Autumn pests
