Operational Group: Combined cultivation of organic fruit trees and organic vegetables in a Keep in touch netting system

Every year, yields are minimal or lost due to late frosts that ruin flowering, continued and severe droughts, rains when the fruit is ripening, etc. This project aims to demonstrate that using this innovative production system in Galicia will ensure higher-quality, higher-yield production for much longer periods of the year, preventing the low yield from being concentrated in the months of August and September. The keep-in-touch netting production system will be implemented on two plots, initially with native cherry trees, peaches, plums, etc., and native vegetable varieties, including the Oimbra pepper. It also minimizes the presence of pests in the crops by clearly establishing a physical barrier.
