Diagnosing and managing pea and faba bean diseases

Description

Anticipate, identify, act: faced with the challenges of sustainable agriculture, controlling pea and faba bean diseases is becoming a key lever. Thanks to this practical, targeted training course, you'll learn how to effectively recognize symptoms, understand epidemiological mechanisms and implement the best management strategies. A day to gain expertise, secure your crops and implement integrated protection in your practices.

Program:

1.disease identification :

• Presentation of symptoms of common pea and faba bean diseases using visual aids (photographic documents and samples of diseased plants).
• Study of airborne and root diseases

2.epidemiological knowledge :

• Understanding of pathogen life cycles
• Climatic and cultural conditions conducive to disease development
• Epidemic dynamics (sources of inoculum, period of contamination, survival of pathogens in the soil or on residues)
• Influence of agricultural practices (rotation, tillage, sowing, varieties) on epidemiological risks.

3 Disease management methods:

• Preventive strategies: varietal selection, residue management, crop establishment, adapted cultivation practices, etc.
• Contribution of decision-support tools (OAD)
• Rationalization of fungicide use: intervention thresholds, treatment windows, etc.

Training objectives

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

• Identify and distinguish between the main diseases of pea and faba bean, both aerial and root diseases.
• Identify the risks of confusion between similar diseases and adopt a more vigilant approach
• Understand and analyze legume disease risk factors
• Select and implement management measures adapted to different disease situations

Teaching methods

Face-to-face format:

• Theoretical part: Technical inputs, case studies, interactive quizzes via Teams.
• Field practice: Analysis of plots, observation of development stages, diagnosis of crop accidents, exchanges with the trainer.

Active methods: Presentations, quizzes, debates, disease observation, exchanges of experience.
Evaluation: Quiz, questions and answers, individual satisfaction survey, self-assessment.

Teaching resources

Theoretical aids: Illustrated lectures, visual presentations, photographic documents, written material given to participants.

Diagnostic tools: Samples of diseased plants, recognition grids, decision-making tools for disease management.

Practical observation: Recognition of symptoms on samples or in real conditions (depending on the season).

Practical exchanges: Discussions, feedback between participants and trainer, case studies.
