32nd Fête de la Science: The JOs of tropical and Mediterranean plants

UMR Agap Institute at the Village des Sciences, Faculty of Education in Montpellier on October 9, 2023

Tropical and Mediterranean plants have unsuspected talents and performances. Plants that are champions of team sports, those that hold the height record, those that are the most heat-resistant, the most productive per hectare, and so on. All these exploits will be explained to you by researchers from the UMR Agap Institut.
Come and play as a team with CIRAD. A three-round competition with questions on speed, biology, mathematics and general knowledge of tropical plants.
Which is the heaviest seed? What is the most widely consumed fruit in France? What is the most productive oilseed plant per hectare? Is the banana tree a giant grass, a tree or a palm?
On your marks, get set, go!
Workshop reserved for schoolchildren, registration required
