Scanning report Year 1 on Apple and Pear Variety testing

AU-Aarslev is the main site in Denmark for variety testing of fruit cultivars. AU-Aarslev has relevant laboratory facilities and a 20 ha research orchard of which half is planted with fruit cultures currently grown in Denmark. In recent years focus has increasingly been on organic production and half the experimental orchard is de-facto run organically. Varity testing has traditionally been conducted in all major fruit crops. However, in the last ten years all variety testing has been project-funded and therefore activities has varied between years, and focus has been on the largest fruit crops: apple, black currant and sour cherries.
