The Method of Efficient Pollination of Apple by Utilizing Hornet and Wall Bee

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for efficiently pollinating apples by using bumblebees and wall wasps, comprising the steps of: performing routine disinfection and insecticide on apple trees 2-3 weeks before pollination; Start to release the wall bees when the flowers are open; 1-2 days after the release of the wall bees or when 5% to 10% of the apple tree center flowers are open, the beehives with the bumble bee colonies are placed in the apple orchard to release the large bees. Wasps pollinate apples. The present invention adopts the bumblebee and the wasp to pollinate the apples together. The bumblebee and the wasp interact with each other to influence the pollination, but they do not kill each other. The addition of the bumblebee not only increases the number of pollinating insects under unfavorable weather conditions, but also changes the pollination of the wasp. The foraging behavior increases the number of foraging between the rows of bees, thereby improving the pollination efficiency, increasing the number of seeds and increasing the number of fruits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for efficiently pollinating apples by using bumblebees and wasps, and belongs to the technical field of hybrid breeding methods. Background technique [0002] Apple belongs to the genus Apple of the Rosaceae Apple subfamily. The fruit is spherical and the flesh is crisp and sweet. It is a common fruit and the most common fruit. It is rich in vitamin nutrition and is one of the four major fruits in the world (apple, grape, citrus and banana). ) crown. Apples are usually red, but yellow and green are also available. Most of the apples are self-sterile and require cross-pollination. The fruit develops from the ovary and receptacle. Apple pollination technology determines the fruit setting rate, yield and quality of apples. [0003] In recent years, due to the green and efficient insect pollination, using insects to pollinate plants has become a development trend. There are also many research results in insect pollinat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The pollination efficiency of bees is low. Bees only visit about 6 flowers per minute, and the working temperature of bees is high. The temperature must be 17 degrees to leave the nest, which is not conducive to the low temperature environment in early spring;

[0005] Although the pollination effect of wall bees is better than that of honey bees (only about 10 flowers are visited per minute, and the temperature is above 12 degrees, the nest is active), but when encountering extreme weather such as cold spring, cloudy, windy, and rainy weather, wall bees Bees cannot go out of the nest, which seriously affects the pollination effect

[0006] Therefore, in view of the current low temperature environment and extreme weather in early spring: late spring cold, cloudy, windy and rainy weather can not pollinate normally, affecting the fruit setting rate, yield and quality of apples, it is necessary to develop a low temperature environment suitable for early spring, Pollination methods in cold, cloudy, windy and rainy weather in extreme weather in order to increase the fruit setting rate of apples
