Biodiversity Foundation REDNAMAN Project: Organic apple tree cultivation in the Natura Network

To increase and optimize organic apple cultivation in Natura Network areas, tools and in-person and distance learning are being provided to the unemployed to work on the implementation of organic apple crops, as a result of research experiences. The training focuses on the study of the adaptation of resistant varieties and some of the main commercial varieties to local conditions, pest and disease control, the development of practical itineraries to reduce crop rotation and obtain fruit of good size and quality, and the management of weed cover to limit competition from spontaneous vegetation and promote the conservation of natural enemies.

It's about providing management alternatives that allow for the highest quality apples, produced in a way that respects the environment and health, within an agroecological framework.
