Pollination
 
Pollination for production Pollination: Main menu
 

Proper pollination is essential for optimal fruit set and production. In the past, growers relied on honeybees, manual pollination or plantgrowth regulators, depending on the crop being grown.

All these methods have drawbacks:

In general, honeybees don't work well in greenhouses or tunnels. They are generally less effective or inadequate during periods of low temperatures (under 15°C/59°F) and cloudy weather.

 

Manual pollination is time consuming and difficult to manage.

 

Hormones often result in low quality fruits, which are not saleable (soft, malformed and seedless fruit).
