Evidence of widespread pollen limitation in diverse specialty crops on commercial farms [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceSpecialty crops (non-staple fruits and vegetables) have diverse pollination requirements and pollinator communities, yet production may be limited by pollen limitation.

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia [PDF]
PlantsNut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Spatiotemporal Variation in Pollination Deficits in an Insect-Pollinated Dioecious Crop
Plants, 2021 Inadequate quantity and quality of pollen reaching the stigmas decreases the sexual reproductive output of plants, compromising yield. Still, the current extent of pollen limitation affecting yield (i.e., pollination deficits) is poorly quantified.
