'The apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) in organic fruit growing is a major problem associated with this disease in order of quality and yield losses are reduced to, there are different approaches. One of the most effective measures is the use of resistant / sensitive species. Currently, only a few varieties on the market (eg, Topaz), the requirements of the decreasing hand, and thus satisfy the consumer. Therefore, the practice of forced to grow predominantly flesh firmness grades. consistent scab, which is usually implemented through the use of copper and sulfur compounds is essential in the workplace against this background. Equivalent alternatives in the regulation of apple scab is not currently. The project aims at building on the foundations previously developed, the end of 2010 expiring BÖL 06OE324 project Developing a strategy for the reduction of copper use in organic fruit growing in the fighting apple scab'' to continue. Here are other copper alternatives and additives selected, this against the backdrop of a possible phytotoxicity and russet in the field checked, tested the ability of a customized application technology and the impact will be determined on the Lagerschorf in order to develop total scab regulation strategies, which is the basis for effective counseling commercial farms represent. By including the alliance partners can taking into account the specific regional climatic conditions in the typical fruit-growing regions of Germany and thus transferability of the results are guaranteed.
