Abstract:
... Artificial pollination may be a promising practice to both improve pistachio fruit production by mitigating the losses caused by phenological gaps or by adverse meteorological events and establish new production areas. Artificial pollination requires large quantities of pollen and manual collection is not economically viable. Mechanical capture of pollen, for subsequent storage and application, co ...
