In order to evolve towards a more sustainable cultivation system towards the pest Cacopsylla pyri, a highly active network of actors was build to bring together practical experiences from integrated cultivation, organic cultivation, orchard management and the experience in applied scientific research.
This operational group focuses on the following aspects:
- Data analysis: expanding data from applied research with up-to-date data / testimonies from the practice of integrated cultivation, organic cultivation and orchards, including the relationship fertilizer scheme and pear psyllid
- Practical implementation and validation of the developed models and apps
