Summary in the original language of the document
Currently the Danish organic fruit & berry production area is 502 ha with the main crop being apples at 282 ha. FruitGrowth will address the main barriers identified by the ‘Working Group report, 2009’, by focussing on robust cultivars in apples, new innovative weeding methods and extending the fruit season & thereby product availability for consumers we will introduce new cultivars & technologies in storage. We work on short & long time solutions of the key pests & diseases (codling moth, apple sawfly & apple scab in apples), natural beneficial’s in flower strips, & natural compound to control key pest. FruitGrowth includes research, development, demonstration & dissemination of the results to fruit growers. Outcomes are expected to contribute to a market-driven growth of unique, high value fresh organic apples from local sustainable & profitable production systems, through increasing grower, industry and consumer confidence in Danish grown organic apples.
Summary translation
Den danske økologiske produktion af frugt og bær finder sted på 502 ha, den største afgrøde er æbler på 282 ha. FruitGrowth har valgt at arbejde med de hovedbarrierer i økologisk produktion, som er fremkommet i rapporten: Analyse af rammevilkår for økologisk frugt, grønt og bær i Danmark, 2009. Projektet fokuserer på sunde sorter af æble, nye innovative metoder til ukrudtsbekæmpelse, samt udvidelse af sæsonen og dermed udbuddet og tilgængeligheden af æbler ved ny teknologi ved lagring. Vi arbejder med løsninger på kort- og langt sigt for de alvorligste skadevoldere (æblevikler, æblebladhvepse og æbleskurv i æble), nyttedyr i blomsterbræmmer, samt naturstoffer til bekæmpelse af de alvorligste skadevoldere. FruitGrowth indeholder forskning, udvikling, demonstration og vidensformidling af resultaterne. Resultaterne forventes at bidrage til en markedsdreven vækst af unikke højværdiprodukter af friske æbler, fra lokale miløvenlige og rentable produktionssystemer, via en øget tillid fra avlere, forarbejdningsindustrien og forbrugerne til danske økologiske produkter.
