The “Old Country”, south of the Elbe, near Hamburg in Germany, is one of the largest fruit-growing regions in Europe. In Jork, on their 40 hectares of apple orchards, the Zum Felde family abandoned traditional cultivation methods in 1996. “Even though we produce organic, we do not give up plant protection,” says Heinrich Zum Felde. Among the products he uses, there is one that deserves attention.

“I have been using azadirachtin for seven years and it has allowed me to definitively stem the invasion of ash aphids from the apple tree,” the arborist said. A solution from Asia. “Azadirachtin prevents the production of a hormone that allows insects to moult. The active ingredient is extracted from the seeds of Neem, a tree whose properties have been used in India for over two thousand years in agriculture and medicine.”
