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

CTIFL-WP3-A1 REDUCING USE OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS : PROTECTING APPLE TREES WITH RAIN COVERS Publication in technical journal - Reduction in pesticide residues The aim of a rain cover is to create a barrier between the trees and the rain and in doing so limit the development of apple scab and even Gloeosporium rot. This article reviews six years of experiments carried out by the Ctifl and gives the inital conclusions of the rain cover work group. The results are encouraging, but the study is ongoing in order to understand the influence…

pcfruit-WP3-a28 Harmonized dose expressions in 3 D crops in Europe - Implementation and experiences of LWA in BE/NL. Organising/holding industry group meeting/event - Reduction in pesticide residues 14/03/2017. Sint-Truiden, Belgium International meeting with stakeholders (crop protection industry) concerning the harmonization of dose expressions in vertical crops. The correct dose application results in better control and less chance on resistance development. Hense this contributes to minimization of residues in future.
