Demonstration and Implementation of Integrated Fruit Production on Anjou Pears

Summary

The objectives of this study are:
1) to research, demonstrate and implement an integrated fruit production program for pears;
2) to evaluate the short-term as well as long-term costs and benefits of integrated versus conventional pear production; and 3) to promote the adoption of integrated production practices through demonstration orchards, grower training, educational material, and development of integrated fruit production guidelines.
