Create the right conditions for consistent pollination, fruit set and crop development. Successful pollination depends on much more than healthy bumblebees. In this course, you’ll learn how climate, artificial lighting and greenhouse management influence pollination, and how to optimize conditions for reliable fruit set throughout the year. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.
How to achieve successful pollination
Pollination starts with the greenhouse environment
The introduction of artificial lighting has extended the growing season, but it has also changed the conditions under which bumblebees work. Lighting, temperature, humidity and crop activity all influence pollination success.
In this practical course, our experts explain how these factors interact and what you can do to create the ideal environment for both your crop and your pollinators. By understanding these relationships, you’ll improve fruit set, crop uniformity and production throughout the winter season.
