Precision pollination research will use sensors and AI to link pollinator activity with fruit set, yield and quality.

Honeybees are indispensable to commercial crop pollination, but simply putting hives in an orchard does not guarantee results ...

Pollinators -- such as bees, butterflies and birds -- are essential for agricultural production. However, natural pollination can also fail or be insufficient, which can lead to lower yields and ...

In nature, the quest to survive and spread is essential — and that’s certainly true for flowers. We might see them as vibrant harbingers of spring or precursors to juicy tomatoes, but from the ...

Agronomists and farmers are finding some pollination issues in specific genetics that were impacted by environmental stress during early, rapid growth. Pollination is always a critical point in corn ...

Pollination underpins the reproductive success of many crop species, directly influencing fruit and seed set, yield quality and overall agricultural productivity. Insect visitors such as bees, flies ...

Pollination ecology examines how pollen is transferred between plants and how floral traits, environmental conditions and pollinator communities shape reproductive success. Insect‐mediated pollination ...

Once thought to be a land-only phenomenon, pollination may have existed in the ocean millions of years before terrestrial plants appeared. This colorized confocal microscopy image shows the body of an ...
