Brown rot (BR) in relation to codling moth damage (CMD) is a key issue in apple production but the impact of these pests has not been assessed jointly. In addition, categorising cultivar reaction to these two pests for sustainable production systems could be essential for improving pest management. Therefore, in a 12-year study, 27 apple cultivars...

The flower production of four apple varieties have been observed grown in integrated and in ecological growing technologiesduring the spring of 2010. The trees produced in the last year (2009) nearly similar yields, so the effect of the technologies may causedifferences in the production of flowers. According to our results, the ecological technolo...

... The differences in yield and disease/pest damage between integrated and organic management systems were extensively documented in previous studies and it was concluded that the production risk was higher in the organic orchards than in the integrated ones (e.g. Holb et al., 2012Holb et al., , 2017Holb et al., , 2022Reganold et al., 2001). Relatively few studies evaluated the differences in cost, income and revenue among various apple management systems (e.g. ...
... Therefore, the price of a cherry varies according to its size, firmness, fruit colour and sweetness. In breeding, a fruit width of 28 mm and above is one of the most sought-after characteristics for cherry cultivars (Csihon et al. 2018). In this study, there was a significant difference between local cultivars and genotypes regarding fruit width, but no difference was detected in fruit length. ...
... They emphasize the higher antioxidant activity in strawberry (Fernandes et al. 2012), the higher soluble solid concentrations and calcium concentrations in apple (Holb et al. 2012) greater glucose and fructose concentrations of kiwi (Nunes-Damaceno et al. 2013), more bioactive substances in medicinal plants (Kazimierczak et al. 2015) produced in organic growing system compared to the integrated one, whereas others (Róth et al. 2007; Roussos 2011) did not show differences in the quality attributes of apple harvested from different production systems. In organic production systems, the differences in vigorous vegetative growth and fruit load were greater between the apple varieties than in integrated growing technology (Dremák 2011) which can be related to the response of the varieties to environmental stress. Climatic stress primarily water deficiency occurring during fruit development, causes large losses of yield, however its extent is influenced by the water stress tolerance of the varieties. ...
... Results of Francini et al. 's study (2022) show that Mg, Ca and K were the most abundant elements and concentrations varied significantly among the cultivars. Several authors found greater variations in levels of nutrients in different apple cultivars, indicating strong genetically controlled traits (Nachtigall and Dechen, 2006;Nagy et al., 2006). Worthington (2001) showed that fertilization have a positive effect on the accumulation of Mg. ...
... In Hungary sweet cherry is a cultivated in 2800 hectares, as the annual production is about 15 000-18 000 tons per year (FAO, 2020). Based on the last decade sweet cherry belongs to the fruit crops with increased interest, thanks to the high demand of the fruits and favorable marketing trends (Csihon et al., 2017). ...
... It accounts for 60-65 % of all fruit production in Hungary, making it one of the most important areas of the fruit growing sector with an average of 550-600 thousand tons/year, so making it the 5th largest production area in Europe. Due to the continental climate, frost damage in autumn, spring and winter and the development of atmospheric drought in summer causes significant problems in apple growing areas (Csihon et al., 2015;Dremák et al., 2016). Nowadays, active protection methods against hail damage and various extreme weather conditions are available. ...
... Disease-tolerant/resistant and -susceptible cultivars exhibited differing levels of susceptibility in terms of FSI and PMIS in this study (Tables 11 and 12), consistent with findings from previous studies [70][71][72]. Our fertilizer treatments clearly demonstrated that complete nutrient supply (NPKMg) consistently reduced disease incidence for both diseases across most cases and years, especially on the disease-susceptible cv. ...
