Economic feasibility of fruit production under the 0.0 MLR system

Ena od značilnosti 21. stoletja je, da vsak dan raste povpraševanje po zdravem in okolju prijazno pridelanem sadju, ki ne vsebuje ostankov fitofarmacevtskih sredstev. Ker take pridelke ponuja le ekološko pridelovanje, povpraševanje močno presega ponudbo. Če želijo slovenski kmetje zadovoljiti potrebe domačega trga in s svojo ponudbo konkurirati tudi na tujih trgih, je treba prenoviti sistem integrirane pridelave sadja, ki zdaj prevladuje pri pridelovalcih sadja. Sistem 0,0 MLR (minimalna stopnja ostankov) pomeni približevanje metod integrirane pridelave (IP) ekološki pridelavi sadja (EKO) tako, da se EKO preverjene metode, ki so uporabne v intenzivni proizvodnji, integrirajo v shemo IP. V diplomski nalogi bomo na osnovi poskusov in znanih podatkov poskušali ugotoviti, ali je sistem 0,0 MLR v primerjavi s sistemom IP ekonomsko upravičen. In the 21st century there is a growing demand for healthy and environmentally friendly organic fruit every day, which also does not contain pesticide residues. As these crops can only be grown organically, a problem arises whereby demand is far in excess of supply. If the Slovenian farmers want to meet market needs and compete with the offers in foreign markets, it would be necessary to recast the existing system of integrated production of the fruit, which is currently used by the majority of fruit growers. The 0.0 MLR system represents the convergence of integrated production methods (IP) to organic fruit production (ECO) in a way that the ECO tested methods, which are capable of intense production, are integrated into the existing IP scheme. In this thesis I will use information based on trials and other known data, to attempt to determine if the 0.0 MLR system compares to the IP system in a way that is economically viable.
