| Abstract:
A research programme using the Belgian fruit tree genetic resources aims to identify potentially useful material through specific pathways of evaluation. Results are given of experimental trials with old apple cultivars possessing partial disease resistance and acceptable agronomic characters for professional growers who use Integrated Fruit Production Systems (IFP) or Organic Production Systems (OPS) for dessert fruits and/or fruit used in processing. Furthermore, a breeding programme has been initiated to develop new commercial apple cvs suited to IFP/OPS and with durable disease resistance using selected old cvs. possessing polygenic resistance, to scab and/or mildew as parents. | |
