Reliability of the entomovector technology using Prestop-Mix and Bombus terrestris L. as a fungal disease biocontrol method in open field [PDF]
, 2016 Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr. is a major plant pathogen, and a new approach is needed for its control in strawberry to minimise the increasing use of synthetic fungicides.

The role of Honey-bee (Apis mellifera L.) in pollination of fruit species [PDF]
Agroznanje, 2013 Starting with the scientifically proven fact that we should keep bees even if we do not obtain their products (honey, wax, nectar, propolis, sour and bees poison) means that indirect benefit and importance of bees is greater than the direct one.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Highbush blueberry yields are dependent on pollination by bees, and introduction of managed honey bees is the primary strategy used for pollination of this crop. Complementary pollination services are also provided by wild bees, yet highbush blueberry is

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 The yield of many agricultural crops depends on pollination services provided by wild and managed bees, many of which are experiencing declines due to factors such as reductions in floral resources.

An improved optimization technique for estimation of solar photovoltaic parameters [PDF]
, 2017 The nonlinear current vs voltage (I-V) characteristics of solar PV make its modelling difficult. Optimization techniques are the best tool for identifying the parameters of nonlinear models.

How Much Area of a Pear Orchard Can One Honey Bee Colony Pollinate?
AgriculturePear trees, though self-pollinating, are self-incompatible and depend on insect pollination—primarily by honey bees. The optimal density of honey bee colonies per unit area in pear orchards remains uncertain, hindering scientific pollination management ...

, 2016 BACKGROUND Interactions with pollinators are proposed to be one of the major drivers of diversity in angiosperms. Specialised interactions with pollinators can lead to specialised floral traits, which collectively are known as a pollination syndrome ...

Bee and non-bee pollinator importance for local food security
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 Pollinators are critical for food security; however, their contribution to the pollination of locally important crops is still unclear, especially for non-bee pollinators. We reviewed the diversity, conservation status, and role of bee and non-bee pollinators in 83 different crops described either as important for the global food market or of local ...

Mason bees and honey bees synergistically enhance fruit set in sweet cherry orchards
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mason bees (Osmia spp.) are efficient fruit tree pollinators that can be encouraged to occupy and breed in artificial nesting material. In sweet cherry orchards, they are occasionally used as an alternative managed pollinator as a replacement for or in ...
