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

AU-WP3-A17 Scanning report Year 3 on reducing pesticide residues in Danish fruit Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Reduction in pesticide residues Organic production is for many consumers equal to unsprayed production. When it comes to high-value crops like fruit in particular pome fruits, this is not the case. Pome fruit are a stationary, long-lived culture with high demands for blemish-free fruit which necessitates spraying. In order to reduce spraying and bring organic production more in line with consumer expectancies…
