Master the art of growing lentils—a great crop to diversify your crop rotation!
Register

As a spring crop with many advantages, lentils extend crop rotations, break the pest cycle, and require no nitrogen input, making them particularly well-suited to current conditions. Although they are often compared to field beans and protein peas, lentils have their own specific cultivation practices that must be mastered to ensure a satisfactory yield. This training course will help you succeed in growing lentils, whether organically or conventionally, through appropriate technical choices.

 

On the agenda:

  • Overview of the international and national context
  • Physiology and phenology of the lentil: fundamental principles and key aspects
  • Crop management and associated decision-making guidelines (planting, variety selection, crop rotations, weed management)
  • Harvesting techniques suited to lentils
  • Identification and management of the main pests and diseases observed in the crop
  • Specifics of the lentil production cycle in organic farming
  • Field visits and practical crop analysis

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the international and national production context, as well as the major challenges facing the industry
  • Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the species
  • Develop and implement appropriate cultivation practices: crop rotation, planting, choice of inputs, etc.
  • Implement and/or recommend key cultivation techniques for successful lentil production in both organic and conventional agriculture
  • Diagnose the main problems observed in cultivation
  • Define best practices for harvesting

Hybrid format:

  • Classroom theory: Technical input on crop management, discussions, and debates.

  • Fieldwork: Field visits, observation of growth stages, analysis of the crop under real-world conditions.

Active methods: Presentations, case studies, Q&A sessions, and sharing of experiences between participants and the instructor.

Assessment: Quizzes, oral discussions, individual satisfaction surveys, self-assessment.

Theoretical materials: Lectures, visual presentations, and written handouts provided to participants.

Field observation: Site visits and observation under real-world conditions to bridge theory and practice.

Exchange of best practices: Feedback on experiences, discussions of specific cases encountered in cultivation.

Technical tools: Presentation of references and useful documents to track technical developments in crop production.

Quizzes, oral discussions, individual satisfaction surveys, self-assessment.
