HORTICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY Honey Bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Pollination of Rabbiteye Blueberry Vaccinium ashei var. ‘Climax’ is Pollinator Density-Dependent
In a 2-yr Þeld study, mature orchard plants of rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei Reade variety ÔClimaxÕ), plus potted pollenizers (ÔPremierÕ) were caged with varying densities of honey bees (0, 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200, 6,400, or 12,800 bees plus open plot) during the bloom interval. The rate of legitimate ßower visits tended to increase as bee density increased within a range of 400Ð6,400 bee...
متن کاملPolyacrylamide Hydrogel Properties for Horticultural Applications
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels are commonly employed to ensure soil hydration in horticulture, but studies have shown that they have a minimal effect on crop life and quality. The reasons for this poor performance are not understood since the commercial hydrogels have not been adequately characterized. PAAm hydrogels were synthesized and their properties were measured along with those of comme...

متن کاملNon-bee insects are important contributors to global crop pollination.
Wild and managed bees are well documented as effective pollinators of global crops of economic importance. However, the contributions by pollinators other than bees have been little explored despite their potential to contribute to crop production and stability in the face of environmental change. Non-bee pollinators include flies, beetles, moths, butterflies, wasps, ants, birds, and bats, amon...
متن کاملBee pollination improves crop quality, shelf life and commercial value
Pollination improves the yield of most crop species and contributes to one-third of global crop production, but comprehensive benefits including crop quality are still unknown. Hence, pollination is underestimated by international policies, which is particularly alarming in times of agricultural intensification and diminishing pollination services. In this study, exclusion experiments with stra...
