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:

Wood wool for the transportation and sale of fruitPublication 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… |

Storability of 'Galant' and 'Natyra': Two new apple cultivars for organic fruit production / EcoFruitParticipation in scientific conference - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Abstract Results from storage studies conducted at the Competence Centre for Fruit Growing at Lake Constance (KOB) in 2014 with the new resistant apple cultivars ‘Galant®’ and ‘Natyra’ are presented. Both these cultivars have been breed for resistance to apple scab and are of interest to organic fruit growers. ‘Galant®’ softens quickly after harvest and seems suitable only… |

The incidence of Neofabraea spp. In 'Pinova' Apples can be Reduced at Elevated Storage Temperatures / EcoFruitParticipation in scientific conference - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Abstract ‘Pinova’ apples are highly susceptible to Neofabraea fungal storage rots. Experiments at the Competence Centre for Fruit Growing at Lake Constance (KOB) with dynamic controlled atmosphere storage (CA) have consistently shown lower rot incidence when ‘Pinova’ fruit are stored under higher temperatures (3 °C) compared to storage under ultra low oxygen (ULO) at 1 °C.… |

"Frutticoltura precisa, stato dell’arte e soluzioni per il futuro" Luca Corelli Grappadelli and Luigi Manfrini. FRUTTICOLTURA - n. 6 - 2017.Publication in technical journal - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage La Frutticoltura di Precisione (FP) è una realtà che trova applicazioni commerciali in Italia ormai da diversi anni (Hkconsulting.it; horta.it). La gestione “precisa” di alcuni aspetti della conduzione del frutteto, in particolare difesa, nutrizione ed irrigazione, era già stata introdotta dagli anni '80. Le prime esperienze di lotta integrata (o biologica, come veniva indicata… |

"Vigoria e produttività: perché i portinnesti nanizzanti sono più efficienti" by Alice tugnoli, Andrea Micheli, Lorenzo Cavallina, Luigi Manfrini, Stefano Lugli, Luca Corelli Grappadelli, Brunella Morandi. 2017. Frutticoltura 4, 28-33Publication in technical journal - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Per lungo tempo gli impianti di ciliegio sono stati caratterizzati da bassa o media densità (≈ 500 alberi/ha) per cui la scelta del portainnesto era orientata verso tipi e specie vigorose tra cui il franco di Prunus, l’ SL64, l’ibrido Colt ed i cloni di ciliegio acido della serie CAB (Lugli, 2011). Tuttavia, la tendenza attuale in diverse zone vocate (Arco alpino, Emilia-Romagna,… |
