Two alternative crops have been tested with each of the producers: strawberry, raspberry, plum, peach and two table grape varieties, Alegro and Napoleón.  It has been shown that the strategies used can be alternatives to the active substances that are candidates for substitution, without reducing production and even increasing quality.
