Apples are the most prominent fruits produced in Europe. However, their organic production is very challenging and most cultivars can only be produced economically with copper application to combat fungal diseases. Therefore, the existing cultivars need to be replaced by more resilient genotypes also considering improvement of the rootstocks for better adaptation to organic soil, fertility conditions and new diseases. The objective of LIVESEED Horizon 2020 project is to improve the performance and sustainability of organic agriculture by boosting organic seed and plant breeding efforts, and increasing the availability of cultivars adapted to organic growing conditions. LIVESEED apple task aims to improve breeding for organic apple production through a... |
