Project
Project code: 2815OE123
Contract period: 01.08.2017
- 31.07.2020
Budget: 25,200 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The project aims to develop strategic approaches to improve the general concept of plant health care in organic fruit growing in close cooperation of practice, extension service, researchers, commercial partners and government as well as non-government organizations for environment and consumers protection. This work relies on a five years database of the measures applied in practice for plant health care in organic fruit growing. In this context, aspects of biodiversity, the efficiency of the use of natural resources, the requirements for internal and external quality and fair price formation are discussed. Furthermore, the use of the database for extension will be tested. In WP 1 the general concept for plant health care in organic fruit growing will be prepared using a five years database. It will be provided for the different user groups in form of a brochure. In WP 2 the use of the already existing benchmarking tool and the use of the brochure will be compared consulting single fruit growers. WP 3 aims to improve the general concept of organic fruit growing including aspects regarding the society as a whole. Four working groups are intended: Biodiversity and plant health care, efficiency of ressources, requirements for the external and internal fruit quality and fair price formation. There will be two workshops in each working group and the output will be a strategy paper with approaches for an improvement for each working group.
