Combined cultivation of organic fruit trees and organic vegetables in Keep in touch netting system

This Operational Group seeks to develop a project that involves the cultivation of fruit trees and vegetables using an organic production system using a keep-in-touch netting system combined with an irrigation system powered by solar panels. This system will make the crop much more independent of the weather.

Every year, production is minimal or is lost due to late frosts that ruin flowering, to continued and severe droughts, to rain when the fruit is ripening, etc. This project aims to demonstrate that using this innovative production system in Galicia will ensure greater quantity and quality production for much longer throughout the year, preventing the low production from being concentrated in the months of August and September.

The keep-in-touch netting production system is intended to be implemented on 2 plots, initially with cherry trees, native peaches, plums, etc. and native varieties of vegetables, among which the oimbra pepper stands out. It also minimises the presence of pests in the crops by clearly constituting a physical barrier.
