Sweet cherries are grown in areas with suitable local climatic conditions up to 60°N in Norway. All orchards have high density planting systems and are rain covered. The most common system now is multibay high tunnels systems where the trees are under plastic cover from the bloom to the end of the harvest. All orchards are fertigated and the production is aimed to supply the fresh fruit domestic market with high quality fruit from early July and to the end of August. At NIBIO Ullensvang, western Norway a large number of sweet cherry cultivars and advanced selections from worldwide breeding programmes have been evaluated continuously since 1959 and several cultivars have been recommended from this programme for commercial production during the last decades. During the last six years approximately fifty cultivars and advanced selections grafted on the rootstock Gisela 6 have been tested. Important objectives were to obtain large and precocious yields, with important quality parameters like fruit size, fruit firmness, soluble solids, fresh appearance, good flavour and resistance against irrigation induced cracking. Based on the results from the recent testing program, the following cultivars are currently recommended for the fresh fruit market: a) for early season: ‘Adelka’, ‘Pacific Red’, ‘Sweet Aryana’ and ‘Bellise’, b) for mid-season: ‘Brooks’, ‘Giant Red’, ‘Grace Star’ and ‘Folfer’ c) for late season: ‘Van’, ,’SPC 342’, ‘LaLa Star’, Royal Edie’, ‘Tamara’ ‘Lapins’, ‘Royal Helen’, ‘Regina’ and ‘Sweetheart’.

The Expert Group for Technical Advice on Organic Production (EGTOP) was requested to advise on the use of several substances with plant protection or fertilising effects in organic production. The Group discussed whether the use of these substances and methods is in line with the objectives and principles of organic production, and whether they should be included in Regulation (EU) 2021/1165.

The Expert Group for Technical Advice on Organic Production (EGTOP) was requested to advise on the use of several substances in organic production. The Group discussed whether the use of these substances is in line with the objectives and principles of organic production and whether they should therefore be included in Annex V of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1165.
