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-WP5-A4 Stakeholder Meeting Forum Obstbau: Physiology of pomefruits Participation in other stakeholder meeting - Secure sustainable fruit production During the stakeholder meeting Forum Obstbau, research results of a new chemical fruit-thinning agent called Brevis were introduced to the audience. Brevis is a product that reduces the photosynthetic activity which leads to fruit drop due to a reduced supply of the trees with assimilates. The importance of application rates, application time (developmental stage) and the…
Agroscope-WP4-A4 Wood wool for the transportation and sale of fruit Publication in technical journal - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Wood and wood wool products have been valued for their hygienic effects in wound treatment as early as in the 19th century and recent studies have shown the inhibitory effects of wood and secondary metabolites of wood on bacteria and fungi. Here, wood wool was evaluated as a tool to decrease microbiological decay of fruits in storage situations. The effect of wood wool on bacteria…
