THE IMPORTANCE OF VIRUS-FREE PLANTMATERIAL IN INTEGRATED FRUIT PRODUCTION |
| Author: | G. Engel |
| Abstract:
In integrated pome fruit production planting of virus-free trees results in less threats to ecology. Vigorousity of virus-free trees allow wider spacing, reduction of N fertilizing and therefore better fruit quality. Furthermore application of plant protection chemicals and growth regulators can be reduced. In replanted soil reduction of tree number/ha is possible with virus-free trees. | |
