Summary in the original language of the document

Adapted varieties make orchard management easier, less reliant on plant protection, and less risky from an economic point of view.
Practical recommendation
• The Mediterranean region covers a very large area in Europe. The list of cultivars presented below synthesises observations realised in the south of France (mild winter, hot and dry summer, average annual rainfall of about 800 mm).
• In the context of climate change, some cultivars that were once well adapted could be someday less rec-ommendable. For example, for reasons of unsatisfied chilling needs. We recommend getting information on the chilling requirements of the variety before planting (e.g., from the nursery, other farmers or exper-imental stations). For specific information on blossom brown rot susceptibility.
• The diversity of varieties planted on a farm improves the farm’s economic resilience.


EPrint Type:Practice tool
What problem does the tool address?:Planting cultivars not adapted to local conditions leads to agronomical difficulties in organic fruit production.
What solution does the tool offer?:Choosing cultivars well suited to biotic (e.g., pests and diseases) and abiotic conditions (e.g., chilling requirements (vernalisation), soil type) is a key to sustainable organic apricot production.
