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

Laimburg - WP3 - A12 Telfser J., Kelderer M. (2016). Das Projekt Ecoorchard. (The project Ecoorchard) Publication in journal/magazine aimed at general public - Reduction in pesticide residues Article about the Project Ecoorchard, which the Laimburg Research Centre participates in. The Project, which started in 2015, aims to learn about the agro-biodiversity in ecologically cultivated orchards. In addition, the Project aims to develop and test Actions to foster the natural resistibility against epidemics and pests through natural antagonists.

AU-WP5-A8 Fertigation - a challenge in organic food production Participation in scientific conference - Secure sustainable fruit production Oral presentation of organic greenhouse production. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of fertigation with chicken manure extract, lupin sap or a combination of the two on nutrient concentration, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) in the growing medium and on growth parameters of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Six fertigation treatments were established in…
AU-WP5-A6 Breeding methods in cherry - a survey Participation in scientific conference - Secure sustainable fruit production This ppt presentation was given in Naussa, Greece on the final EU COST Cherry meeting. It summarizes data on pollination and breeding methods from a survey among EU breeders of sweet and sour cherries on the methods used and successes found, and point to some future challenges in breeding methods.

AU-WP3-A2 The effect of harvest date and delayed cold storage on development of storage rot Organising/holding seminar/lecture-based workshop - Reduction in pesticide residues Presentation on the effect of harvest date and delayed cold storage on the development of storage rots. The two year experiment show minor effect on firmness of both delayed picking and cold storage (within the normal picking window). In 2014 rots of the first pick were significantly increased by delaying cold storage, this was most likely due to higher ambient temperatures during…
AU-WP3-A4 Danish fruit without spray residues Organising/holding industry group meeting/event - Reduction in pesticide residues The project DAFRUS focuses on implementing a spray strategy that enables commercial production of apples without spray residues. The zero-residue strategy is based on optimal scab and insect control in the primary season from bud break to petal fall using standard pesticides. During fruit expansion up until harvest only natural pesticides allowed for organic production are used.…
AU-WP3-A1 Rain roofs for apples and pears Organising/holding industry group meeting/event - Reduction in pesticide residues An initial experiment involving narrow plastic roofs over single rows of apples was high successful at preventing scab and rot diseases in susceptible apples varieties without significantly reducing yield or quality. In a follow-up project 'ProtecFruit' the aim is to develop a commercial rain roof for apple and pears and document the effect on diseases, fruit production, fruit…
AU-WP3-A3 The effect of hot water on fruit rots Organising/holding seminar/lecture-based workshop - Reduction in pesticide residues In project 'Less waste and better shelf life of fruit' the aim was to develop a machine to facilitate short term dipping of apples as part of a grading line. The machine dipping successfully reduced rots by more than 50 % when fruit was treated at 54 degrees for 30 seconds.
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 production 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 cherry…
