Green 1st class fruits were ripe in about 6,5 weeks and red fruits in about 9,5 weeks. A
high solar irradiation (summer) shortened the time from fruit setting to harvest and
fruits matured earlier compared to fruits grown at lower solar irradiation. Pest in July
and August delayed ripening (Fig. 3).

From the results it can be assumed that it is possible to maintain a yearround organic
production of vegetable. The used fertilzers seem to provide a sufficient N supply for
organically grown horticultural crops.
