The objective of the project is to demonstrate new ways in which the production of high-quality, healthy and largely residue-free fruit can be achieved with the measurably reduced use of crop protection products. The fruit industry in the Lake Constance economic area should take on a cross-border pioneering role here. It is thereby required to distinguish itself via environmentally friendly, innovative and economic means of projection, while maintaining the profile of the high inner and outer quality of fruit, in a market with reducing prices and major economic risks. Fruit production faces very great challenges. The retail sector and consumers require high-quality, healthy, residue-free and reasonably priced food, the production of which should be sustainable and environmentally-friendly. At the same time there are ongoing Europe-wide modifications to the framework conditions, such as a scarcity of resources, extremes of weather and reduced availability of crop protection products, which severely interfere with agricultural production. Modifications to crop protection are already foreseen due to the medium-term discontinuation of entire groups of active substances, severe limitations in the application rules, increased residue and distance requirements and reduced application rates. In order to be able to continue with the production of fruit in the Lake Constance area under these framework conditions, innovative system-based solutions have to be devised. The further development of integrated crop protection plays a key role in this and is central to the project, as required for example, in the national action plan or in the action plan to reduce risk and achieve sustainable applications of crop protection products. In the project, promising cultivation and crop protection should be combined and further developed in the model systems for defining cultures for apples, cherries and to a small extent for pears, in such a way that fewer crop protection products that are critical to the environment are used and as little residue as possible remains on the fruit, in comparison with the usual standards from integrated production (IP) and organic cultivation (ORG) 50-80%. Cultivation and technical crop protection measures should be compared with one another individually and in combination according to economic criteria. A cross-border network of reference companies (IP and organic) should also be established and included in the evaluation to assess the achievement of the objective. The following parameters and measured values should be processed and assessed in the project: Variety selection Crop management Protection and cover systems Insect protection nets and mating disruption technology Alternatives to herbicides Boosting of beneficial organisms and natural antagonists Cost/benefit analysis and profitability analysis Inner and outer quality of the yield (English)
