Agroscope, OFEAG and the sector jointly coordinate the project ("multi-actor approach"). With a long sought goal of a management strategy of fire blight without antibiotics, it aims to develop practical knowledge for direct and indirect solutions and to support their implementations.
Objective
Study and develop further, collaboratively with all stakeholders, direct and indirect methods for a successful fire blight management.
