Abstract
The desirability of integrated fruit production, defined as an economical way of growing fruit while providing long-term safeguards to public health and the environment, and components of such a system that are currently available in the Netherlands (biological pest control, supervised chemical control of diseases, resistant cultivars, alternatives to herbicides and to soil fumigation, replacement of plant growth regulators, novel spraying techniques and fertigation) are discussed. Results of ongoing trials with 8 cultivars of apples at Numansdorp and Zeewolde, in which the current standard method of production is being compared with 2 systems of integrated production, are also presented.
