Résumé
This deliverable includes an overview on, and validation of novel low- or no- copper strategies for grapevine, apple and glasshouse crops carried out under on-farm conditions using commercial production systems. Novel low- or no- copper strategies were optimised and then validated under semicommercial and commercial conditions in different countries and by different partners involved in the project. Close interaction between farmer/advisor groups and research/industry teams providing alternative products have been carried out for a rapid know-how transfer. These results provide a realistic view and perspective for further reduction of copper in each crop. In grapevine, no-copper strategies are possible under low disease pressure using stand-alone treatments with the TPs. However, strategies with low copper dosages in tank mixture with one of the three TPs are suggested at the most susceptible phenological phases and/or where high infection risks prevail. In apple, one TP has shown very good efficacy and would be a valuable addition to the currently available product portfolio in organic apple production. In greenhouse crops (tomato, cucumber), the validated TPs developed in RELACS are well suited for use in practice and could contribute to the reduction of copper use. In organic cultivation of roses, different strategies for replacement or reduction of copper use can be developed on the basis of the results obtained in the project. The test products in this report are presented under their code names as their registration is ongoing and should not be interfered with in this report. This deliverable is part of an ongoing manuscript for a scientific peer-reviewed publication. It will be submitted to a scientific journal soon (likely submission date is 2023), and, once published (gold open access), will be linked to this deliverable. The details contained in this study are still confidential until online publication by the journal.
