The view of the corn crop from the road this year looks good. Fields have lush green corn plants and even stands, which is why farmers had high hopes for bin-busting yields. But as farmers wade into ...

Agronomists and farmers are finding some pollination issues in specific genetics that were impacted by environmental stress during early, rapid growth. Pollination is always a critical point in corn ...

In nature, the quest to survive and spread is essential — and that’s certainly true for flowers. We might see them as vibrant harbingers of spring or precursors to juicy tomatoes, but from the ...

An 18-month trial from AgriSound is now underway at commercial strawberry farms in the UK to test real-time pollination ...

Once thought to be a land-only phenomenon, pollination may have existed in the ocean millions of years before terrestrial plants appeared. This colorized confocal microscopy image shows the body of an ...

Pollination biology examines the mechanisms by which pollen is transferred from male to female floral organs, underpinning the reproductive success of most angiosperms. Flowers have evolved a suite of ...

Pollination is the biological process by which pollen grains are transferred from the anthers of a flower (or male reproductive structures) to the stigma of a flower (or female receptive structures), ...

Above: Bumble bees buzz pollinate crops like tomatoes when they collect pollen, which they store in a ball on their hind legs. It’s hard to deny the absolute benefits of the honey bee, but did you ...
