Pollination in protected cropping environments
Project partner
Hort Innovation
Duration
2022-2023
Summary
In Australia, a number of high-value industries are grown under protected cropping systems including raspberries, blueberries, apples and vegetables. Despite the benefits of protected cropping, there is increasing evidence to suggest that the altered environmental conditions caused by protective environments can negatively impact crop plant physiology and reproduction, insect pollinators and the pollination services they provide.
In this project AHR provided communication services to the Hort Innovation project ST19000 Novel technologies and practices for the optimization of pollination within protected cropping environments.
