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:

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

Epidemiological knowledge:

• Understanding 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

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.

Objectifs de la formation

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

• Identify and distinguish between the main diseases of pea and faba bean, whether aerial or root-borne.
• 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

Hybrid format (1 day):

• 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, disease recognition on a stand or in a plot (depending on the season), 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.

Assessment methods

Quiz, disease recognition on a stand or in a plot (depending on the season), Q&A, individual satisfaction survey, self-positioning.
