PLANT NUTRITION TRAINING :
UNDERSTANDING AND OPTIMIZING THE NUTRITION MECHANISM TO DESIGN HIGH-PERFORMING SYSTEM AT FARM SCALE
Focusing plant nutrition management solely on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium means overlooking 31 of the 34 elements that determine a plant's health, resilience and productivity.

What Is Plant Nutrition?
Feeding a plant is far more than supplying nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It means understanding 34 elements, their interactions, the fundamental biological processes — photosynthesis, root absorption, rhizodeposition, protein synthesis — and the central role of soil life in this balance.
This plant nutrition training provides that complete framework: understanding how the nutrition mechanism actually works, learning to connect nutrition, health and performance, then building an action plan to create coherent, less input-dependent cropping systems.
It is designed for anyone who wants to move beyond a partial understanding of plant nutrition: farmers, agronomic advisors, teachers, students, training centers and agricultural teams.
THE REALITY OF THE GROUND
PLANT NUTRITION MANAGED AROUND 3 ELEMENTS, WHEN THE PLANT USES 34
“I manage my nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium inputs, but I don't really know what's happening with the other 31 elements — or whether my deficiencies come from there.”
“I advise on N-P-K balances, but I lack a complete reading grid to connect the plant's nutritional status to soil life and offer a finer diagnosis.”
“I teach mineral nutrition, but often stick to the basic curriculum, without digging into the interactions between elements or the biological mechanisms that connect them.”
“My students know nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by heart, but struggle to explain why a plant deficient in boron or magnesium shows a specific symptom.”
“We want to add a solid, certified plant nutrition module to our catalog, without starting from an overly general theoretical base.”
“Each of my technicians has their own reading of plant nutrition. We're missing a shared reference framework, beyond N-P-K, to align our recommendations.”
What This Training Changes
Plant nutrition becomes a complete, legible system — 34 elements, their roles, their interactions, the biological mechanism that connects them, and a concrete action plan for the farm, whatever your starting point.
THIS TRAINING IS TAYLOR-MADE FOR YOU...
SIX PROFILES, ONE SHARED NEED TO UNDERSTAND PLANT NUTRITION AS A WHOLE
Farmers and Farm Employees
You want to manage crop nutrition beyond N-P-K, identify mineral deficiencies and imbalances by observing the plant, and reduce your reliance on plant protection products by strengthening its natural defenses.
Agronomic Advisors
You want to integrate the 34 elements into your diagnostics and recommendations, connect the plant's nutritional status to soil health and microbial life, and propose balanced action plans that reduce reliance on synthetic inputs.
Teachers
You want to teach plant nutrition as a whole, beyond the N-P-K triad alone, and illustrate interactions between mineral elements with real farm case studies.
Students
You want to bring biological mechanisms — photosynthesis, root absorption, rhizodeposition — together into a full picture of plant nutrition, directly usable in an internship or first job.
Training Centres
You want to add this ready-to-use, Qualiopi-certified plant nutrition training directly to your catalog, with no additional curriculum development.
Team Leaders and Managers
You want to give your team a shared reading grid for plant nutrition, to align practices and gain collective agronomic consistency.

YOUR TRAINER IN PLANT NUTRITION
PLANT NUTRITION IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Raphaël MARTIAL is an agricultural engineer graduated from ENITA Bordeaux, with over 20 years of experience in agriculture. Founder of TERREOM, he specializes in soil fertility, plant nutrition and agroecology. He delivers training for farmers, agronomic advisors, teachers and training organizations throughout France.
His teaching approach rests on one principle: making the complex accessible. He combines scientific rigor with hands-on field experience, so that every participant leaves the training with a complete understanding of the nutrition mechanism and an action plan they can apply immediately on their farm or in their advisory work.
