When transforming a conventional orchard into an organic orchard, the recovery and increase of biodiversity is crucial to success. Other general management measures and strategies include: 1) management of ground cover, 2) cleansing of soil and recovery of soil fertility, 3) stimulation and boost of immunity, 4) pest/disease control and plant protection measures, and 5) application of integrated management techniques. Once the orchard has completed transformation, the local ecology will gradually increase and diversify, allowing a natural, complete ecosystem to form over time. With increased ecological balance and stability, disease/pest damage will significantly decrease, trees will grow normally and will be robust, and fruit yield and quality will gradually return to normal. Other principles include 1) minimal use of materials and equipment, 2) precision management, and 3) labor-saving methods.
