Method for increasing loquat yield by inducing honeybees to conduct pollination

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing loquat yield by inducing honeybees to conduct pollination. The method comprises the following steps: culturing a basic honeybee colony before a loquat flowering phase; in the early stage of loquat flowering, dispersedly placing beehives everywhere in a loquat garden; and after a honeybee colony is built, putting glass slides coated with brood pheromone into the honeybee colony to induce the honeybees to collect pollen at fixed positions in the loquat garden, removing the pheromone after placing for 1-1.5 h, and terminating induction till the endof the flowering period. According to the method, the loquat tree pollination efficiency of honeybees can be effectively improved, manpower and capital investment for manually pollinating loquat treesis reduced, and loquat tree pollination cost is reduced; and through honeybee pollination, fruit quality is improved, no toxic or harmful effect is caused to the environment, and induction effect isremarkable.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of bee-induced pollination, and specifically relates to a method for inducing bee pollination to increase loquat production. Background technique [0002] Loquat is a plant belonging to the genus Rosaceae. Its flowers, fruits and leaves have high medicinal value. It is widely planted in my country and is one of the important fruit tree species in China. Most varieties of loquat trees are self-pollinated, which easily causes low fruit setting rate, more deformed fruits, and diseases and insect pests, which affect the yield and quality of loquat. Can not meet the production requirements, the production usually adopts pollination varieties or artificial pollination during flowering. In recent years, thanks to the research, demonstration and promotion of honeybee pollination technology, honeybees have been increasingly used in loquat tree pollination. However, the flowering period of loquat is in winter. When the loquat bloo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the flowering period of loquat is in winter, when the loquat is blooming, due to the low temperature, the biological activity of the media is weak, the bees are not active in visiting and collecting, and the pollination efficiency is low, resulting in extremely low pollination efficiency of bees for loquat trees

Therefore, in the application of honeybees pollinating loquat trees, there is a problem that honeybees are less motivated to collect loquat flowers and affect the pollination of loquat trees
