Research in growing techniquesThe main aim of the research is the working out and improvement of orchardmanagement technologies for fruit and berry plantations. Trials and observationsare performed along the following lines:• Testing of new pome and stone fruit rootstocks in Latvia; testing of dwarfing pearrootstock suitability for use as inter-stocks; trials about the compatibility of thebest rootstocks with commercially grown and promising cultivars• Studies on the provision of best growing conditions in fruit and berryplantations:• regulation and maintenance of soil moisture, cultivation of soil in strips• fertilizing and providing of optimal agrochemical conditions to plants• Research in plant protection - in cooperation with scientists from Latvian PlantProtection Research Centre• Evaluation and screening of the suitability offruit crop varieties for different training systemsand tree shapes, different time of training.• Development of economically justified,environment-friendly (integrated andorganic) technologies for growing of fruit crops
Research in plant pathology and entomologyUnit of Plant pathology and entomology started its activities as Plant pathologylaboratory in summer 2006.Main tasks and lines of the research:The development of scientific and theoretical basis for economically viableand environment friendly (integrated and organic) fruit growingtechnologies which are based on research of harmful organisms in Latvianorchards.The development of methodicalbasis for establishing of the systemof certified planting material forfruit crops in Latvia.Diagnostics of insect pests anddiseases of fruit crops.
