Abstract:
One of the aim is to improve the fruit growing management, to
introduce a series of theoretical, methodological and, most important,
practical aspects and aims for the maximization of fruit growing activity by
using management activities which are specific to this field along with their
impact in the economical and ecological performances. The principal aim of
specialists in Romania is to develop the harvesting machinery, initiate
statistical and mapping methodologies to allow growers, to view and
interpret the annual productivity of each tree in their orchards. In secondary,
it’s important to develop the research of new resistant apples varieties and to
develop an integrated fruit growing system. Regarding to the first point, the
specific objective of precision horticulture must be understand by the
specialists: to create a precision horticulture management available for
Romanian growers; to develop an informational system. Information
requirements include spatial and temporal data on the crop, soil, pests,
topography, and weather during the field production phase; to develop
technology to allow large-scale, tree-to-tree yield analysis; to utilize this
technology to determine the factors that contribute to yield variability
including development of statistical, mapping, and biological interpretations;
to conduct a demonstration research project utilizing these technologies; to
develop the dissemination workshops to demonstrate the technology.
The start of the new varieties research, in special for apples, was
made in Voinesti for Generos, Voinea, Pioenier, Florina with genetically
resistance at diseases. It is important to promote all these varieties on
international markets in special for the low number of chemical treatments
and second for quality of fruits.
