TRAINING COURSES IN AGROECOLOGY, AGRONOMY, FERTILITY OF THE SOIL, PLANT NUTRITION, COVER CROPS

Implementing an agroecological model on your farm to improve profitability and technical outcomes. This course provides a new agronomic perspective. Beyond the levers of soil fertility, it explores the importance of a living soil for a high-quality soil-plant relationship, and examines how the system functions and the most suitable practices to sustain it.

Soil analysis is a fundamental tool for monitoring soil health and fertility. This course provides all the knowledge needed to interpret results correctly, adapt cultural practices accordingly, and support soil fertility and the soil-plant relationship. A dedicated session is given to the collective analysis of documents brought by participants.

The recent work of Olivier Husson brings a new perspective on the influence of the pH-redox potential in the soil-plant relationship. This course examines the different dimensions of this parameter and identifies the practices to prioritise in order to move towards a high-performance agroecological model.

This course follows on from "Understanding and Making the Most of Your Soil Analysis to Increase Fertility." Its objective is to enable participants to connect indicators, build a complete diagnostic assessment, and formulate agronomic solutions.

Soil fertility plays a central role in achieving abundant, high-quality yields. This course explains how soil fertility is structured and how to develop it. It includes a field workshop on participants' own plots to apply the learning and adapt production systems accordingly.

Throughout its development, the plant draws on soil resources to ensure its growth and produce biomass in both quantity and quality. Recent agronomic research confirms that these two parameters are closely linked. This course covers how the soil-plant relationship is structured and which practices are most appropriate. The second part focuses on how to design a relevant observation itinerary directly in the field.

Cover crops are important agroecological levers. They provide numerous services at plot and ecosystem level. This course covers their composition, sowing, management, and termination in sequence. It is also an opportunity to reflect on how to position them within rotations to improve cropping systems.
