This Open Day Technical Meeting on fruit production is carried-out annually at the IRTA- Experimental Station of Mas Badia (Girona). In this production area is the most important meeting of apple industry with more than 200 people. The content is similar to the same Open Day which every year and in the same week is held at IRTA-Mollerussa. The objective is also to provide precise information about different aspects of technology of crop production but in particular the results of testing new cultivars and rootstocks of apple are always the main topic of interest. The full data about agronomical performance and fruit quality of new cultivars of apple, pear and peach were provided on the basis of the testing program carried out by IRTA since 1994 in apple and pear. More than 800 new cultivars have been tested over the last 22 years and the information recorded has been continuously disseminated to the fruit industry.
