Effects of Irrigation Method on Pollination and Pollinators (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) in an Open-Field Tomato Crop [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2019 Tomato is one of the highest water-demanding crops, and the use of different irrigation systems and different water management strategies may affect crop yield. Despite the fact that tomato is a self-fertilizing (autogamous) plant, research has shown that bees (“buzz pollination”) improve yield and fruit quality.

Improving Productivity of Open-pollinated Processing Tomato Cultivars [PDF]
HortScience, 2005 In contrast to developed countries open-pollinated (OP) processing tomato cultivars still have a certain market value in Turkey. A total of 26 subpopulations of 6 different OP cultivars (9 of Rio Grande, 5 of Rio Fuego, and 3 of each of C-37, Interpeel, T2 Improved, and VF 6203) were evaluated in two experimental sites in Marmara Region and Aegean ...

Natural and artificial pollination of white-fleshed pitaya
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 To produce pitaya (Hylocereus spp.), it is essential that pollination occur, either artificially or by pollinating agents. This study evaluated the viability of self-pollination, cross-pollination, and natural pollination, as well as pollen viability ...

Studies on cross compatibility in Jasminum spp.
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019 The present investigation was carried out to study the compatibility among six Jasminum species during 2016–17. Among open, self and artificial cross pollination, the open pollination resulted in maximum degree of fruit and seed set proving the open ...

Effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations in maize diallel experiment
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015 This study investigated the effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations and kernel biochemical content in a maize diallel experiment. A 7×7 complete reciprocal diallel set (7 parents and 42 hybrids) was used as plant material.

Scarcity of ecosystem services: an experimental manipulation of declining pollination rates and its economic consequences for agriculture [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Ecosystem services (ES) such as pollination are vital for the continuous supply of food to a growing human population, but the decline in populations of insect pollinators worldwide poses a threat to food and nutritional security.
