Synopsis
Excerpt from Pollination of the Avocado
New plantings should include varieties selected from both of the above classes for interplanting. Where solid plantings of one variety (or varieties all of one class) have been made, it may be necessary to top-work a portion of the trees to one or more reciprocating varieties before fruiting will be satisfactory. Seedling avocados growing near by may serve to effect cross-pollination in such plant ings, since in any group of seedlings approximately 50 per cent is found to fall in each class. Wherever available, hives of bees placed in the groves at blooming time should increase the chances for cross pollination and fruit setting.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of avocado pollination, a subject that was just beginning to be explored in the early 20th century. The author, a plant physiologist, meticulously documents his findings on the avocado's unique flowering habits, drawing upon years of research conducted in both Florida and California. While the avocado's prolific flowering might seem to suggest a high degree of self-fertility, the author reveals a crucial insight: the avocado is actually designed for cross-pollination. He meticulously explains the avocado's intricate dual flowering process, which ensures that pollination rarely occurs within the same individual tree, and provides detailed information on how different avocado varieties bloom at different times of day. The author then lays out a practical framework for orchard planning, recommending mixed plantings of different varieties to optimize fruit production and address the avocado's often-unpredictable pollination dynamics. This book offers a glimpse into a previously under-explored aspect of avocado production, paving the way for future advancements in the cultivation of this beloved fruit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781528125659_0
