Outcrossing rate and fruit yield of Hass avocado trees decline at increasing distance from a polliniser cultivar
Optimal fruit production from many tree crops relies on the transfer of cross-pollen between
trees of different cultivars rather than the transfer of self-pollen between trees of the same …
