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:

REDUCING USE OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS : PROTECTING APPLE TREES WITH RAIN COVERSPublication 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… |

THE DEPHY EXPE ECOPHYTO NETWORK : SUMMARY OF THE FIRST RESULTS IN TREE FRUIT PRODUCTIONPublication in technical journal - Reduction in pesticide residues The national ECOPHYTO plan, aimed at reducing the use of plant protection products in France, includes an experimental section. The first results obtained for the fruit tree industry are very promising, with a significant decrease in treatment frequency indexes (TFI) in relation to a benchmark. The target of a reduction of 50 % or more has been attained for the majority of the fruit… |

Orchard specific management of scab (Venturia inaequalis) on appleParticipation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is one of the major fungal diseases in Belgian fruit production and over 50% of the pesticides used in apple cultivation is used for its control. As such, a good management of the primary infection moments, caused by ascospores at the beginning of the season, is essential. An accurate warning system in the spring is, therefore, an ideal… |
