Analysis of the conformity in the adoption of the norms of integrated production of peach

This research was aimed at evaluating the conformity degree of the peach orchards to the Norms of Integrated Peach Production (IPP), in order to assure quality and safety of the products obtained and to turn the productive chain more competitive in the market. The implementation of IPP and traceability in the production was accomplished through monthly visits, starting from the beginning of the vegetative cycle to after harvest. Parallel to the implementation of IPP and traceability system, internal auditings were accomplished to evaluate the conditions of productions, transport and storage, through verification lists for adhesion and attendance auditing. The percentage of producers that are in accordance with the demands of IPP is 30%. The cultural treatments extolled by IPP which are being adopted are: green pruning, maintenance of the covering in the soil, balanced fertilization, use of allowed pesticides and devolution of empty packings. For the consolidating of the integrated production, it is needed to enlarge the orientation for the integrated handling of curses and diseases, as well as the technology of pesticides application.
