Soya: Diagnosing climatic accidents

Description

Hail, heatstroke, thunderstorms... Do you really know how to recognize a climatic accident on soybeans?
Yield losses due to climatic hazards are on the rise, and an error in diagnosis can compromise compensation or effective intervention. This training course will give you the reflexes you need to accurately identify climatic damage and differentiate it from other causes (diseases, pests, deficiencies, etc.). Gain in responsiveness, reliability... and expertise.

On the program

Soybean physiology

• Key stages in development
• Factors influencing yield production

Cultural management and critical points

• Emergence, flowering, pod filling
• Impact of practices on performance

Crop accidents - Typology and recognition

• Climatic hazards: hail, heat stroke, excess water, strong winds
• Pest and disease damage
• Nutritional deficiencies and abiotic stress
• Phytotoxicities (herbicides)
• Other observable anomalies

Objectifs de la formation

On completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the key elements of soybean physiology in relation to crop management and yield formation.
• Identify sensitive phases in soybean development, from emergence to harvest.
• Diagnose the main climatic accidents (hail, wind, heat, storms, etc.).
• Differentiate between other causes of damage: diseases, pests, nutritional deficiencies, phytotoxicities, etc.

Teaching methods

Face-to-face format (½ day):

• Classroom contributions: Presentation of the types of climatic accidents, case studies, application exercises.

• Field observation (if conditions are favorable): Analysis of real-life situations in the field (depending on date and availability of sites).

Active methods: Presentations, discussions, questions and answers, case studies, applied diagnostics.

Evaluation: Quiz, questions and answers, practical exercises, self-assessment, individual satisfaction survey, self-assessment.

Teaching resources

Theoretical support: Presentations, lectures, summary documents given to participants.

Case studies: Real-life situations analyzed collectively, according to context.

Exchange of practices: Feedback between participants and trainers to enrich diagnoses.

Assessment methods

Quiz, Q&A, practical exercise, self-positioning, individual satisfaction survey.
