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

NIAB EMR-WP2-A2 Selecting Markers for Genetic Diversity in Sweet Cherry Participation in scientific conference - Performance of new fruit varieties The use of SSR/microsatellite markers for germplasm characterisation has become common practice in the last decade. To compare results across laboratories using different protocols and detection methods depends on using common markers and on the inclusion of known genotypes to allow the standardisation of allele sizes. In December 2006, participants of an ECPGR-sponsored workshop…
NIAB EMR-WP4-14 DEFRA/AHDB - Apple Best Practice Guide - Post harvest chapter Publication of book/booklet/chapter - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage It is increasingly difficult for UK growers to make a profit from their apple crop. Many factors contribute to this situation. It is clear that the future of the UK apple industry is dependent on the production of fruit with the quality characteristics demanded by the consumer. Moreover, in the future, the industry will need to respond to inevitable changes in consumer…

AU-WP2-A1 Apple varieties and content of patulin in apple juice Organising/holding open demonstration day - Performance of new fruit varieties Presentation of the project FaVOR-DeNonDe at Fruit rot workshop in March 2016. The project FaVOR-DeNonDe will contribute significantly to new knowledge about the balance between desired and non-desired components in selected fruits and vegetables as well as how different processing techniques appropriate in organic production affect specific quality traits of fruits. Different…
PcFruit-WP3-a12 Potential role of fruit intercrops for parasitoid assisted integrated apple aphid management Participation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Apple aphids, especially Dysaphis plantaginea Passerini, are among the most abundant and destructive insect pests of apple tree crops in Belgium, but also in all temperate regions. Their feeding can directly and indirectly damage the crop and decrease the yield quality and quantity. Managing these pests by conventional farming and monocropping systems have been often caused a…
Pcfruit-WP3-a6 Protection of apple and pear flowers against fire blight infections using biocontrol organisms applied via bumblebees Participation in scientific conference - Reduction in pesticide residues Limited tools are available to growers to protect apple and pear flowers against Erwinia amylovora infection of which the risk increases with increasing temperature making the secondary bloom later in the season more vulnerable than the primary bloom in early spring. Apart from regular inspections and removal of the infected plant parts preventive sprayings with plant defense…
NIAB EMR-WP4-9 Storage guidelines for UK plum and cherry growers. Publication of technical bulletin/guideline - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Plums and cherries are among the favourite fruits of the consumer, but currently much of the demand is met by imported fruit. With new plum and cherry varieties and new production techniques the UK industry has the potential to increase production. However, post-harvest losses can be significant due to fungal rots and rapid loss of fruit quality. The objective of this project…
