Bumblebee Pollination Enhances Yield and Flavor of Tomato in Gobi Desert Greenhouses

Bumblebee pollination is crucial to the production of tomato in protected cultivation. Both yield and flavor play important roles attracting attentions from growers consumers. Compared with yield, much less work has been conducted investigate whether how methods affect flavor. In this study, effects bumblebee pollination, vibrator treatment, plant growth regulator (PGR) treatment on were tested Gobi Desert greenhouses. or PGR treatments, pollinated had higher more stable fruit set, heavier weight, seed. We also found that seed quantity positively correlated weight both pollinated, treated tomato, but not tomato. Besides enhancing improved fruits contained fructose glucose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid. Furthermore, volatile organic compounds distinctive consumer liking related identified Our findings provide new insights into contributions bee pollinator towards improving crop quality, emphasizing importance for pollination.
