Three Components of Sustainable Development
![Page 7: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Aim of Sustainable Fruit Production1. To ensure the safety and quality of products to satisfy the
highest expectations of the food industry and consumers.
2. On-farm practices should ensure that arable and vegetable crops are produced under sustainable economic, social and environmental conditions.
![Page 8: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sustainable Fruit Production is Based on
The principle of Health
The principle of Ecology
The principle of Fairness
The principle of Care
![Page 9: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To reduce the soil erosion and also helpful in keeping the environment pollution free.
It is cost saving technology and save the expense at the large extent.
It is also helpful in keeping the land fertile and ready for the future farming.
Benefits of Sustainable Farming
![Page 10: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sustainability Issues in Fruit Production1. Protect and enhance existing native vegetation for greater biodiversity
and security of the rural environment at large.
2. Manage the use of scarce water resources to ensure greatest efficiency, productivity and protection of surrounding catchments and waterways from salt, soil, fertilizers and chemicals carried in run-off water.
3. Manage for healthy soils through protection from degradation and loss by erosion, organic matter depletion and unbalanced and inappropriate fertilizer usage.
4. Manage the impact of pest and diseases while minimizing the usage of chemicals and maximizing profitability over the short and long term.

Important Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production
• CANOPY MANAGEMENT
• MULCHING
• BAGGING
•HARVESTING
![Page 23: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Training refers to giving shape/ architecture of plant.
Pruning refers to removal of parts of a tree, especially shoots, roots, limbs, buds of the terminal parts.
Pruning is done to make a tree more productive and bear quality fruits.
Pruning make it into more manageable shape and to get maximum returns from the orchard.
CANOPY MANAGEMENT
![Page 24: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Composted mulch can be used to increase productivity and sustainability of viticulture production.
Composted mulch can reduce evaporation from the soil surface, maintain soil moisture levels, reduce crop stress and stimulate vine growth.
It reduces irrigation water requirements, weeds and reduces erosion.
USE OF MULCH
WEED MANAGEMENT AND MULCHING

USE OF MULCH
Without composted mulch With composted mulch
![Page 26: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bagging and Wrapping of fruits: Fruits can be easily protected against fruit flies by bagging them in newspaper bags.
The bag provides a physical protection to the fruit by preventing adult female flies laying eggs.
Bagging is inexpensive and easy to apply and guarantees nearly complete protection from fruit flies.
![Page 27: Principles and Practices for Sustainable Fruit Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070511/58a00c371a28abd40b8b6fc3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HARVESTING PRACTICES FOR PEST CONTROL
Remove fruits with dimples and oozing clear sap. This method is more effective although laborious than picking rotten fruits from the ground as the maggots may have left the fruits to pupate.
Harvest crops early when mature green. This is the stage of maturity when crops are not susceptible to fruit fly attack.
Pick overripe fruits. These are good breeding sites for fruit flies.

• Sustainable fruit production system is a need of an era for environmental safety and quality fruit production.
• It protects biological flora, reduce soil erosion and include ecofriendly management system.
• It comprise integrated pest and disease management system.
• Sustainable fruit production system is helpful to achieve holistic approach of farming system through appropriate planning and applying best management practices.
