Learning unit contents
The aim of this lecture is to teach the basis knowledge in crop production applicable in all cultivated areas of the planet. Starting from ecophysiological characteristics of model plants growing in temperate and tropical areas, it aims to present the main factors using for growing field crops in the major types of cropping systems.
The sequence of technical interventions, the choice and the terms of use of the inputs needed to optimize wheat production in temperate areas will be reasoned according to the plant ecophysiology, the pedoclimatic and agronomic characteristics of the environment and according to the searched opportunities. These modes of crop management will be compared with production techniques implemented for other field crops of the main cropping in tropical areas.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The knowledge objectives are the acquisition of basic knowledge about the influence of production techniques on the development and the crop growth, the production limitations due to the main abiotic, biotic and socio-economic constraints.
The objectives of competences are the ability to analyse, understand and discuss the main factors influencing the performances and the durability of plants productions and the impact of first stages of the technical itinerary implemented in growing conditions and ecosystems existing in temperate and tropical areas.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
AGRO0001-1 Foundation of agriculture
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures "ex cathedra", are largely illustrated with slideshows and movies. Students are likely to answer questions at any times.
Diverse "popular documents", intended for a wide audience are proposed to the students.
A visit on the fields during crops sowing time permit to observe in real conditions tillage and drilling
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
At end of each chapter , powerpoint showed is placed at students disposal on e-Campus
Assessment methods and criteria
oral examination with both professors
(100%)

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
This year, the lessons taught after the 13th of March will be given through electronic files : Power point presentations, audio and video files that will be uploaded and available for students on e-campus platform.
Assessment subjects
Unchanged.
Teachers will come back towards the students, via ecampus, after the last lecture, to ensure to answer to any remaining questions that may arise from the exceptionnal changes in learning methods .
Teachers will specify via ecampus the priority aspects regarding the evaluation.
Assessment methods
Writtent exam (open questions) on e-campus (100% of the grade)
