The mild winter is still not a problem in the orchards

The fruit trees are in a calm state, and the mild winter still not caused problems in the orchards – Mártonffy Béla, president of the Hungarian Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional Organisation (FruitVeB) told MTI on Wednesday.

He told that the gardens are in good condition, but the mild winter has increased the chances of the wintering of a greater number of pathogens. Therefore, he drew the farmers’ attention to pay more attention to the plant's defense works than usual. These tasks are recommended to be performed before the trees would bloom. (MTI)
