Effects of different pollination methods on tomato fruits’ quality and metabolism [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Bee pollination can affect tomato yield and quality. The mechanism of improving the yield and quality of tomatoes by bee pollination is not clear, and few studies have been conducted.

Evidence of widespread pollen limitation in diverse specialty crops on commercial farms [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Specialty crops (non-staple fruits and vegetables) have diverse pollination requirements and pollinator communities, yet production may be limited by pollen limitation.

RESPONSE OF TOMATO PLANTS TO SOME AGRICULTURAL AND CHEMICAL TREATMENTS ON FRUIT YIELD AND ITS QUALITY RELATION TO TUTA ABSOLUTA (MEYRICK) AND BEMISIATABACI (Genn.) INFESTATION [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
An experiment was carried out to study the effect of some agricultural and chemical treatments on two serious insects i.e. leaf miner, Tuta asoluta (Meyrick), and the cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) that infest tomato plants, as well as the ...

Three options are better than two: compensatory nature of different pollination modes in Salix caprea L.

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021
Mixed pollination systems have been reported for many angiosperms. Here, we report on a dioecious willow, Salix caprea L., which employs three pollination modes, namely pollination by wind, nocturnal moths, and diurnal bees.

Precision management of pollination services to blueberry crops

Scientific Reports, 2021
While the cultivated area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing, pollinator availability is decreasing, leading to problems in many agroecosystems.

Research Progress on Efficient Pollination Technology of Crops

Agronomy, 2022
Pollination is essential to maintain ecosystem balance and agricultural production. Domesticated bee pollination, which is easy to feed and manage, and mechanized pollination, which is not restricted by the environment, are considered the main technical ...

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 ...

Effects of Different Pollination Methods on Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus) Plant Growth Traits and Rapeseed Yields

Plants, 2022
Pollination success is essential for hybrid oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) seed production, and the pollination method has some influences on the OSR plant growth traits.

Spatial and temporal trends of global pollination benefit. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Pollination is a well-studied and at the same time a threatened ecosystem service. A significant part of global crop production depends on or profits from pollination by animals.

Yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) Displays Prezygotic and Postzygotic Barriers to Prevent Autogamy in Monoecious Cultivars

Agronomy, 2022
Cultivated yam (D. rotundata) is a staple tuber crop in West Africa whose sexual reproduction control remains largely unknown despite its importance for plant breeding programs. In this paper, we compared self-pollination, intracultivar cross-pollination
