Introduction:
All terrain Pollination Ltd have developed a
wet pollen application system for use in the New Zealand Kiwifruit
industry. This system was trialed for the first time in November
2004
This system
requires that a low-pressure machine built with stainless steel or
food grade plastic components had to be developed. Kiwifruit pollen
requires special handling to stay alive and viable until application
to female kiwifruit flowers.
Pollination:
The application system uses the Pollenaid
mixing system developed by MAF.
Savings achieved in 2004 season were
approximately 50% or more over hand operated wet pollen application
systems.
Contact us for Pollen Application Rates from
250gm to 500gm per hectare.
