Summary

Weed control and cultivation is still a serious problem in organic pipfruit production. In a research project which has started in May 2004 cultivation and weed control equipment is tested in four different locations in Germany. The efficiency of the different machines in controlling the weed is as well acquired as possible effects on the fruit quality and the crop. After the first year with results statements to the efficiency can be made. The machines “Ladurner” and “Pellenc” are appropriate for cultivation and weed control in organic pipfruit production. No statements can be made about possible effects on the crop jet. These effects will become apparent not until three to four years of continuing the research projekt.
