Mechanical pollination trials on a commercial cherry crop

Watch as a 4-acre commercial block of cherries in Prosser, Wash., is mechanically pollinated during Washington State University trials in 2015. WSU horticulturist, Matthew Whiting, has been researching systems to not just supplement natural pollination, but with the goal of replacing natural pollinators and honey bees to better control fruit set and offset natural pollination issues.

Wondering how far this has progressed since then.

congratulations from greece.

I need to implement mechanical pollination in my passion fruit (edulis) plantation in the state of Pará in Brazil.

[@monaimlouriga6603]

I would love to hear about you more

[@Guytron95]

look into the dispersing agents and emulsifiers used in the food industry for things like coffee creamer, cocoa mixes etc. They have to deal with these fine powder problems all the time.

+Guy G Good idea - we have been working with local experts in the food industry.

[@alexandraocampo933]

@@WashingtonWhiting Do you know if this is also suitable for pistachio crops? We are having several problems with pollination in Spain.

@@alexandraocampo933 can I email you for more information? I'm doing a research about pollination

[@vitallefebvre]

@@julianbrouwers Would there be artificial pollen for passion fruit?

Sir can u pls tell that what is the complete process of dowing artificial pollination and cam u pls porovide ur contact or mail so that i can approach you and know about artificial pollination so that i may practice this method in my farm

[@monaimlouriga6603]

I had the same idea wooow

[@jenniferpenney8888]

So sad. Let's do without pollinators. We're killing them all off anyway. Maybe we can create artificial cherries too, then we won't need trees either.

Bees won’t die they just be bio reengineered

[@youtubesuckss7058]

Lol just look after the bees and we will be fine.
