Le Conseil oléicole international (COI) et l’Institut agronomique méditerranéen de Saragosse (IAMZ) ont organisé un cours supérieur consacré au suivi et à la surveillance des agents pathogènes de l’olivier.

Le cours, qui s’est déroulé en visioconférence, était destiné aux autorités responsables de la certification et de l’inspection phytosanitaires, aux professionnels des services phytosanitaires, aux conseillers techniques et aux experts des institutions de R&D travaillant sur le diagnostic des maladies et les plans de prévention et de contrôle des agents pathogènes dans le secteur oléicole, et aux techniciens de banques de germoplasme de l’olivier.

Une cinquantaine de participants venus d’Albanie, d’Algérie, d’Argentine, de Croatie, de Grèce, d’Iran, d’Italie, de Jordanie, du Liban, du Maroc, de l’État de Palestine, du Portugal, de Slovénie, d’Espagne, de Tunisie et de Turquie ont suivi ce cours.

L’objectif de cette formation était de permettre aux techniciens de :

– Acquérir de solides connaissances sur la biologie, l’écologie et l’épidémiologie des principaux agents pathogènes qui menacent l’olivier, en particulier la Xylella fastidiosa et le Verticillium dahliae ;

– Comprendre le contexte réglementaire et les normes internationales régissant la surveillance et le contrôle des agents pathogènes de l’olivier ;

– Être capables d’identifier les paramètres pertinents pour la conception d’enquêtes et un suivi efficace, grâce à l’analyse des procédures d’échantillonnage et des diagnostics à partir d’études de cas sur la Xylella fastidiosa et le Verticillium dahliae ;

– Être capables de préparer et de concevoir des enquêtes et des activités de surveillance basées sur les risques ;

– Travailler en réseau avec des professionnels et des acteurs clés dans les pays membres du COI, échanger des expériences et renforcer la coopération pour faire face aux maladies émergentes et ré émergentes de l’olivier.
