Temperate fruits

Temperate fruits

Temperate fruits are those adapted to the temperate climatic zone in the middle latitudes.Organic fruit producers face high demands and production risks due to high disease and pest pressure and the rigorous input restrictions. Thanks to major advances in varieties, inputs and equipment, it has been possible in recent years to improve yield security in organic fruit cultivation significantly. The economic environment has also developed positively, with increasing demand for sustainable and fairly produced fruits.

Here you can find tools related to pome fruits like apples, quince, and pears, as well as stone fruits, like apricots, peaches, plums, and cherries, and also melons.
