Vinschgau grower

Vinschgau grower -- A second day of tours took us north to the Vinschgau Valley. (It was cold there that day!) Here, Martin Thomann (left), a crop advisor with Beratungsring (the Cooperative's advisory service) talks about IP (Integrated Production, i.e. IPM) with orchard owner Albrecht Schuster. Mating disruption for codling moth, and choosing 'soft' chemicals (among other practices) are the basis for IP in the South Tyrol.
