| 1 |
a. Contribution of the activity with regards to the referential of leaning outcomes Control a pool of scientific knowledge in the field of plant production (M1.1, M1.2, M2.2) Control a pool of knowledge in the fied of bioengineering through a quantitative approach, facing a complex problem of agronomy at the scales of the plant and the field (M2.4) Apply a rigorous, innovative and systematic scientific approach in order to deepen a research problem in the field of crop production (M3.3, M3.4) b . Specific formulation for this activity AA program (maximum 10) At the end of this activity, the student will be able to : · explain the life cycle of a crop and identify the activity periods of each process operating in biomass formation ; · express the principles of yield formation ; · connect processes between themselves ; · identify the key phenological stages studied during the lectures ; · compare the adequacy of different crops to defined pedo-climatic scenarii ; · predict the biomass evolution in the field during the vegetative phase ; · examine the production differences under a range of physiological and pedo-climatic constraints ; · formulate a given situation encountered in the field (e.g. a given season) in a quantitative way with the help of concepts studied during the lectures, interpret it and propose an analytical strategy in order to vallidate this interpretation. |
