There are many challenges in organic fruit growing - one of them is crop protection and spreading production throughout the year.
Solution
Fruit trees are often grafted onto rootstocks which provide the adaptation to the soil which makes them the long-term foundation for the tree and the orchard. This way the choice of rootstocks and varieties is so important and can thus be selected in a way that can meet the challenges of crop protection in organic fruit growing.
