Project

A new methodology for comparative variety research of pip fruit (RASSENONDERZOEK HARDFRUIT)

This project aims to implement a new procedure for comparative variety research, with a special focus on:
• taste
• tailoring the commercial range of varieties to consumer preferences
• infographics for reporting research results
• better involvement of growers in variety research and selection
The aim is to find out whether this new approach adds value to current variety research and, if so, to build it into the ongoing comparative variety research programs funded by the
producer organizations and by other companies.
The primary target group of this project are Flemish top fruit growers, horticultural cooperatives, other producer organisations, tree nurseries and companies that exploit new varieties in a club system and export companies.
