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

Agroscope-WP2-A49 EUFRUIT WP2 Scanning report Y3 "Berry Variety Testing" Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Performance of new fruit varieties The evaluation of new strawberry and raspberry varieties at Agroscope takes place in two phases. Depending on the year, eight to ten new strawberry varieties and four to eight new raspberry varieties (primocane and floricane) are tested. The strawberry varieties are evaluated regarding their qualitative (sugar content, firmness, color) and agronomic potential (yield, diameter,…
Agroscope-WP3-A17 EUFRUIT WP3 Scanning report Y2 "Reduction in pesticide residue" Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Reduction in pesticide residues Integrated fruit production systems rely on pest, disease and weed control with specific pesticides, which spare beneficial organisms. This leads to crop protection strategies with a larger number of different pesticides. However, consumers demand a reduction of pesticide use in agriculture and ideally an elimination of pesticide residues in order to minimize the impact on the…
Agroscope-WP3-A7 EUFRUIT WP3 Scanning report Y1 "Reduction in pesticides residues - stonefruits" Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Reduction in pesticide residues Every second year, Agroscope, the Swiss centre for agricultural research, publishes recommendations for plant protection in commercial fruit production. Yearly, this booklet is supplemented by an updated list of plant protection products. These documents contain information about damage tresholds and effect of chemicals on beneficials and are widely used in practice and education.…
Agroscope-WP4-A17 EUFRUIT WP4 Scanning report Y2 "WP4 Fruit quality, improvement of fruit handling/ storage" Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Microbial post-harvest diseases can be controlled using existing methods (synthetic fungicides, CA- Storage, 1-MCP). With the pressure of reducing synthetic fungicides (Swiss action plan in plant protection, EU- regulation), an increase of microbial post- harvest disease and thus an increase in food loss is to be expected. Using state of the art molecular methods (spore sampling,…
