On 17th of october 2024, we’ve guested students from French Legeta D’obernati in Velika Gorica, Lazina Čička. Our expert Damir Lučić
described the type of terrain, typical weather seasons, types of Apple trees in orchard, style of growth and other technical characteristics of orchards. Majority of questions were on the types of pests we have in the orchard and detailed information on which treatment is optimal, for how long, in which part of the year and similar. They were interested in the protection of orchards, mainly on the types of anti frost systems that are available, anti hail nets, irrigation systems but also on the apple yield per tree. They had a chance to see the machinery, mainly the atomiser machine and to hear about its technical aspects, their function and the technologies in the system. They had a chance to see how apple picking looks by the introduction of a semi-automatic picking machine. They were very interested to see how the entire process looks and how this machine works.
Our hope is that they now feel encouraged to start their own business and we hope we’ve helped them expand their knowledge on apple growing.
