On January 28, a training course dedicated to cherry cultivation began, promoted by the Consortium of Cherry and Typical Fruit of Bisceglie in collaboration with Confagricoltura Bari-Bat. The initiative focuses on three key topics: the phenomenon of cracking in cherry trees, the use of covering systems, and early varieties with low chilling requirements.
It consists of four intense days of free training, aimed at workers from local cherry-growing companies eager to expand their knowledge in the sector.
Valter Monari, director of the Consortium of Cherry in Vignola, will lead the sessions, supported by a Spanish expert in genetic improvement of varieties and specialists in the field of covering and netting for agriculture.
"This course marks the beginning of the training activities of the Consortium of Cherry and Typical Fruit of Bisceglie, which has resumed its operations with the goal of revitalizing the brand and providing concrete support to sector operators. The cherry tree is part of our tradition, and we want it to be our future as well."
"In the coming months, we will organize additional initiatives, including the presentation of a funding program with significant incentives for the installation of new orchards and covering systems," stated the president Vincenzo Misino.
