The EUFRUIT Knowledge Platform is part of a European thematic network of 21 partners including research institutes, universities and industrial partners who represent keyparts of the fruit supply chain from 12 countries.
The European Fruit Network (EUFRUIT) - Knowledge Platform
EUFRUIT Knowledge Platform is an international open access database of electronic documents related to productivity, sustainability and quality of fruit in the European fruit sector. New knowledge on fruit research and best practice approaches at a European level are available in the database. It is possible to search for information in a specific language.
Focuses are on four thematic areas of critical importance to competitiveness and innovation potential of the European fruit sector:

Efficacy of postharvest treatments by nebulisation of biological control organisms against Botrytis cinerea fruit rot on pearParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Storage diseases of pome fruits are caused by different fungal species. Disease management to control storage diseases includes several treatments with different fungicides in the weeks prior to harvest. However, residues on fruits becomes more and more a public and governmental concern. In order to reduce the chemical residue on fruits to a minimum, more research is done on… |

Protection of apple and pear flowers against fire blight infections using biocontrol organisms applied via bumblebeesParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Limited tools are available to growers to protect apple and pear flowers against Erwinia amylovora infection of which the risk increases with increasing temperature making the secondary bloom later in the season more vulnerable than the primary bloom in early spring. Apart from regular inspections and removal of the infected plant parts preventive sprayings with plant defense… |

Fire blight monitoring by UAV system carrying spectral sensorsParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Fire blight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, is already more than 30 years present in Belgian fruit growing areas and poses an important threat leading each year to economic losses in apple and pear orchards as well as in fruit tree nurseries. Regular inspections of the fruit orchards, fruit tree nurseries and other host plants in the neighborhood of the orchards remain… |

68th International Symposium on Crop Protection (ISCP): poster: Landscape plant composition differentially influences aphid parasitoids in fruit orchardsParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Global conversion of natural habitats from ecosystem to agrosystem has led to marked decline in species diversity and composition. Hence, redesigning the surrounding area and increasing the diversity of beneficial arthropods is an important approach that can help suppress pests, limit chemical sprayings (residues) and increase crop yields. To evaluate the diversity and similarity… |

Optimized timing of IPM treatments against pear Psylla (Cacopsylla pyri) based on a temperature driven population dynamics modelParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Pear suckers (Cacopsylla sp. or pear Psylla) (Hemiptera Psyllidae) are widely considered to be the most important pest in pear orchards. They are mostly feared by growers because of their secreted abundant honeydew colonized by sooty mould fungi causing blackening of leaves, shoots and fruits. Sustainable control of pear Psylla relies on their natural suppression by beneficial… |

Potential role of fruit intercrops for parasitoid assisted integrated apple aphid managementParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Apple aphids, especially Dysaphis plantaginea Passerini, are among the most abundant and destructive insect pests of apple tree crops in Belgium, but also in all temperate regions. Their feeding can directly and indirectly damage the crop and decrease the yield quality and quantity. Managing these pests by conventional farming and monocropping systems have been often caused a… |
