Testing the effect of a rainproof protection net on the apple production regarding disease and pest damages

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In a field trial within the CORE Organic project DOMINO, the effect of a rain protection combined with an insect net (“Keep in touch – Antiacqua”) was tested for organic apple production. The Keep in touch system without any spray from the blooming on was compared to an uncovered and unsprayed treatment (control) as well as an uncovered and organically sprayed treatment. First results of 2019 show a reduction of rotting diseases incidence under the rain coverage. Furthermore fruits will be evaluated on storability and occurrence of post-harvest diseases.
