Asynchrony of kiwifruit flowering time results in different flower phenological stages in
canopy at the same time. Pollination quality of flowers is influenced by their phenological …

Robotic simulation is an important method for verifying robot design parameters and the
feasibility of various schemes. We simulated and analysed the effectiveness of the design …

Manual pollination of kiwifruit flowers is a labor-intensive work that is highly desired to be
replaced by mechanical/robotic operations. In this application note, a pollination robot was …

Pollination is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining plant communities and food
production. 75% of the main crops depend on or benefit from pollination services provided …

Pollinators are a crucial part of our ecosystem which aids the life of almost all living
organisms present in this universe, and their contributions are justifiable according to …

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a monoecious species and although it exhibits self-compatibility,
it presents incomplete overlap of pollen shed and female receptivity. Thus, cross-pollination …

Insects are a functionally diverse group, with economically relevant roles on key ecosystem
services, such as pollination. The current trend of biodiversity loss and consequent …

The targeted pollination strategy has shown positive results in directing honey bees to crop
flowers offering nectar along with pollen as reward. Kiwifruit is a functionally dioecious …

Liquid spray pollination (LSP) is widely used in fruit tree pollination. However, the LSP
parameters that affect the pollen activity are still unclear. In this study, three LSP parameters …

The pollination process of kiwifruit flowers plays a crucial role in kiwifruit yield. Achieving
accurate and rapid identification of the four stages of kiwifruit flowers is essential for …
