Summary
Different mulches have been studied in organic currant production since 1997 at MTT Ecological Production in S:t Michel. Mulches, especially black plastic, suppressed weeds effectively. Since green mass mulch decomposes fast on the soil surface, it can be recommended mainly as an additional fertilizer.
Lepidopterous pests Synanthedon tipuliformis, Euhyponomeutoides albithoracellus and Lampronia capitella are difficult to control even by chemicals. Therefore pheromone-based management was studied in 1999-2003.
