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:

Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage

OVA-WP4-A38 Storage meeting Organising/holding field-based workshop - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Storage meeting
OVA-WP4-A39 Real-Time "interactive storage" quality control in fresh agro products (QCAP) Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage In the north-west region, the agri food sector has a high economic and social value. A significant part of the crops is lost because of spoilage or the decreasing quality during handling or storage. The Radbound University develops a prototype of an interactive storage system (ISS) which is able to measure volatile compounds in storage air.These substances will be traced back to…
CTIFL-WP2-17 Comparison of the sensitivity to pests and diseases of new cultivars. First results of an evaluation network led in France since 2012. J. Ruesch, C. Hilaire (Ctifl) - Y. Montrognon (Sefra) - N. Courthieu (Centrex) - P. Blanc (Serfel) Final project conference participation with presentation (poster) - Performance of new fruit varieties The societal expectations in term of reduction of the use of inputs in agriculture, the interdiction of some commercial specialties (technical impasses) and the development of more and more restrictive specifications from wholesalers make the management of pests and diseases particularly complex. A possible solution is to identify more resilient cultivars. The breeding…
NIAB EMR-WP5-A26 Contribution on FERTINNOWA's technology database Publication in other stakeholder journal/magazine - Secure sustainable fruit production Knowledge is the basis for an innovation process. So when working on innovations it is good to know what has already been developed and what information is available. This comprises both successes and failures, as from failures we can also learn how to improve. There is a lot of information available, from scientific research as well as practical experiences. However, the majority…
NIAB EMR-WP5-A19 WET Centre offers confidence, consistency, control and cost-savings Organising/holding open demonstration day - Secure sustainable fruit production Reducing the amount of water needed to grow high quality full flavoured strawberries while at the same time optimising the yield of the crop is now achievable thanks to the work of the new Water Efficient Technologies (WET) Centre opened at NIAB EMR
CTIFL-WP3-A3 Pome fruits field visit at Ctifl Lanxade Center : rain covers on apple orchards Organising/holding field visit - Reduction in pesticide residues The Ctifl Center Lanxade organizes an annual open demonstration day. On the program : varieties trials, tree training, plant protection studies, like fixed canopy spraying system and rain covers against apple scab and Gloeosporium. The presentation summmarizes the results obtained between 2010 and 2015 and gives the trend for 2016.
UNIBO-WP3-A1 Giornate fitopatologiche 2016 Participation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Phytopathological Days 2016
CTIFL-WP3-A6 presentation of the national ECOPHYTO network Capred (cherries, plums, apricots) - overview 2013-2016 Organising/holding seminar/lecture-based workshop - Reduction in pesticide residues Ctifl organizes national events on fruit stone plant protection. One of the presentation is about the Dephy Expé Ecophyto CAP-ReD project. This project consists in monitoring innovative measures aiming to reduce by 50% the use of chemical plant protection products on the following stone fruit crops: apricots, cherries, as well as Japanese-type, prune-type and Mirabelle plums. The…
CTIFL-WP3-A5 ECOPHYTO - THE DEPHY EXPE APPLE NETWORK : LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE MID-TERM REVIEW Publication in technical journal - Reduction in pesticide residues The project aims to evaluate apple production systems combining different strategies to protect crops from pests and diseases, to maintain the soil and to manage crop load. It is conducted on six experimental sites that are representative of French apple production and is coordinated by the Ctifl. The aim is to analyze the efficacy and feasibility of strategies that are…
CTIFL-WP3-A2 THE DEPHY EXPE ECOPHYTO NETWORK : SUMMARY OF THE FIRST RESULTS IN TREE FRUIT PRODUCTION Publication in technical journal - Reduction in pesticide residues The national ECOPHYTO plan, aimed at reducing the use of plant protection products in France, includes an experimental section. The ﬁrst results obtained for the fruit tree industry are very promising, with a signiﬁcant decrease in treatment frequency indexes (TFI) in relation to a benchmark. The target of a reduction of 50 % or more has been attained for the majority of the fruit…
