Determination of the effects of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris), hand, and natural pollination on fruit set, yield, and quality in pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) cultivation under subtropical conditions [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Pollination plays a key role in determining fruit set, yield, and fruit quality, particularly in regions outside the crop’s native habitat where natural pollinators may be insufficient. Commercial pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) production in Türkiye

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 ...

Flower pollination algorithm with pollinator attraction [PDF]
Evolutionary Intelligence, 2022 The Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a highly efficient optimization algorithm that is inspired by the evolution process of flowering plants. In the present study, a modified version of FPA is proposed accounting for an additional feature of flower pollination in nature that is the so-called pollinator attraction.

Ethnoecology of pollination and pollinators [PDF]
Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2015 This paper brings together three case studies on the interrelationships amongst people, pollination processes and pollinators (notably honeybees). In the palm groves of Saharan oases, the milieu and varieties of palm trees are created by horticulturalists, who fulfil themselves the role of pollinators.
