Pollination of zucchini culture by bumblebees: Advance of results of quality production

摘要

A research on pollination by bumblebees of zucchini has been carried out under plastic greenhouse conditons. Advances of results of a campaign show that pollination by bumblebees treatments was more productive in terms of commercial fruits than control by parthenocarpy induction. These first results are encouraging the use of natural pollinators to improve the quality production of zucchini.
