On 9 May at Macfrut there will be the event "Which Biosolutions for quality cherries?", from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Sala Neri.
The event, divided into two parts, will highlight current market needs and emerging problems in some important cherry-growing areas in the world. Guidance on new biosolutions and cultivation models for profitable and sustainable cherry cultivation will also be provided.
Admission will be free of charge with prior reservation. In order to participate subscribe here

The total Tru-Cape crop dropped from an estimated 520 tons to just over 400 tons due to unfavorable weather conditions, especially during flowering and fruit set, also blamed on a frost wave in September that affected several producers.

A University of Hannover study shows that Parka®, a fatty-acid-based cuticle supplement, does not reduce rain-induced cherry cracking. Trials on six cultivars found no effect on cuticle mass, elasticity or fruit water uptake under simulated rainfall conditions.

A 25-year genetic data analysis from the Genome Database for Rosaceae identifies 16 QTL hotspots and 17 syntenic regions across Prunus species. The findings strengthen breeding strategies for peach, sweet cherry and almond, improving fruit quality, yield and disease resistance.
