Scanning report Year 2 on reducing pesticide residues in Danish fruit

Organic production is for many consumers equal to unsprayed production. When it comes to high-value crops like fruit in particular apples, this is not the case. Apples are a stationary, long lived culture with high demands for blemish-free fruit which necessitates spraying. In order to reduce spraying and bring organic production more in line with consumer expectancies alternative strategies are investigated. Covered production using a plastic rain roof is one such strategy.
