The proposed technology is aimed at optimizing agro-ecological and biotechnological methods to guarantee safety of the harvest and quality of apple products with no toxicological effects on the environment and humans. The proposed technology for storing ecologically clean apples is improved by using a complex that implies spraying with phytopreparation and exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic field. Comparative assessment is performed for morphological, organoleptic, chemical and technological characteristics of apples, the prevalence of scab and the yield of the garden with chemical and integrated preliminary protection techniques. The effect of electromagnetic field of low frequency in the range from 18 to 100 Hz on the activity of the fruit surface microflora is evaluated. A computer program is developed and registered to be used directly for analytics and forecasting the quality of long-term storage of products.
