Effect of honey bee pollination on the fruit setting and yield of Loquat
Effect of honey bee pollination on the fruit setting and yield of Loquat
Bashir Mohammad Khan, Mohammad Shahid and M. Ismail Chaudhry
ABSTRACT
The panicles covered, with polythene bags bore few
fruits resulting in the lowest yield of 21 grams per
panicle with least minimum fruit setting of 3.75%. The
highest yield of 708 grams was obtained from panicles
left open to honey bee's pollination under natural
condition with fruit setting of 82.93 percent; whereas
the panicles left open under natural conditions without
honey bee visitation yielded 252 grams per panicle with
fruit setting of 46.15 percent.
