Abstract

Kaolin clay-based products are increasingly used in fruit growing, especially in organic farming. In recent years, the emphasis has been on a significant reduction in the number of conventional protective measures against diseases and pests. The gradual transition from conventional to organic fruit production is also noticeable. This paper presents the possibilities of using kaolin-clay based products in fruit growing. The possibilities of using kaolin clay to protect against pests and diseases, reduce environmental stress from high temperatures, protect against burns, increase yield, improve color and fruit quality are presented. Kaolin clay has great potential for improving fruit production in the Republic of Croatia, especially in organic farming, where its wide application and efficiency make it practically unavoidable.

Abstract

Proizvodi na bazi kaolinske gline sve više se koriste u proizvodnji voća, a posebice onoj ekološkoj. Posljednjih godina prisutan je trend značajnog smanjenja broja dozvoljenih konvencionalnih sredstava za zaštitu bilja od štetnih organizama, što za posljedicu ima i postupni prijelaz s konvencionalne na ekološku proizvodnju voća. U ovom radu prikazane su mogućnosti korištenja proizvoda na bazi kaolinske gline u voćarstvu. Predstavljene su mogućnosti korištenja kaolinske gline u zaštiti od štetnika i bolesti, smanjenju ekološkog stresa uzrokovanog visokim temperaturama, zaštiti od ožegotina, povećanju uroda, poboljšanom obojenju i kvaliteti ploda. Kaolinska glina ima velike mogućnosti za unaprjeđenje voćarske proizvodnje u Republici Hrvatskoj, napose u ekološkoj proizvodnji, gdje zbog svoje široke primjene i učinkovitosti postaje praktički nezaobilazna.
