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

NARIC-WP2-A8 VARIETIES AND ROOTSTOCKS IN THE CHERRY PRODUCING COUNTRIES Publication in scientific journal (peer review) - Performance of new fruit varieties Numerous sweet and sour (tart) cherry cultivars and rootstocks were released over past decades around the world, but there is no reliable data, how many of them are currently in the production. To collect data on usage of rootstocks and cultivars in the global production, trends of the production and the orchard systems, a questionnaire was sent to Cooperation of Science and…
PcFruit-WP3-a10 Optimized timing of IPM treatments against pear Psylla (Cacopsylla pyri) based on a temperature driven population dynamics model Participation 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…
PcFruit-WP3-a11 68th International Symposium on Crop Protection (ISCP): poster: Landscape plant composition differentially influences aphid parasitoids in fruit orchards Participation 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…
Pcfruit-WP3-a7 Fire blight monitoring by UAV system carrying spectral sensors Participation 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…

PCFRUIT-WP2-A38 Which sweet cherry the consumer prefers? Publication in industry journal/magazine - Performance of new fruit varieties Key words: COST Action FA1104, taste, shape, colour From April 16th 2012 until April 15th 2016 COST Action FA1104 entitled “Sustainable pro-duction of high quality cherries for the European market" ran. During this project several meetings were organized to exchange information regarding the cultivation of cherries. The aim of this project is to achieve a more sustainable…
PCFRUIT-WP1-A10 Grower advices Publication in technical journal - Project management Pome fruit growers advices for the end of May
PCFRUIT-WP1-A7 Dose calculator for small fruits and vineyards Publication in technical journal - Project management Pcfruit developed a simple dose calculator, a tool in cardboard paper, which simply gives the grower the amount of crop protection product, as well as the amount of water, he has to use to treat his fruit plantation. The tool is developed for growers with small parcels with vertical crops (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, currants, vineyards, ... but with small adaptations the…
PCFRUIT-WP1-A8 Pollination by bees improves firmness and shelflife of strawberries Publication in technical journal - Project management The 12th scientific price 'Professor Soenen' was granted to Björn Klatt which made a Ph.D. thesis on the interaction between the environment, strawberry plants and pollinators. He showed that firmness, shelf life and yield of strawberries were positively, influenced by wild bees, honeybees and bumble bees and he described the interaction between those pollinating insects. This…
PCFRUIT-WP1-A9 wild bees in orchards Publication in technical journal - Project management Wild (solitary) bees contribute importantly to the pollination of various fruit crops. Due to the crisis in the honeybee sector, pollination by Sosmia spp. gain interest with fruit growers. This papers describes practical guidance for the attraction of wild bees to increase biodiversity and improve pollination of fruit crops.
