Apple cultivation is demanding in terms of plant protection, especially if environmentally friendly and rapidly degradable natural substances and biocontrol organisms are to be used. Depending on the weather, frequent treatments with plant protection products are also necessary in organic apple cultivation. In order to reduce the use of plant protection products, new technologies such as mobile covers, controlled by sensors and IT solutions, combined with new cultivation forms (Guyot training system for narrow foliage walls) are conceivable solutions.
The project pursues the following objectives:
