Yields in commercial strawberry fields are limited by the availability of pollen & insect pollinators
This article is about the availability of pollen & insect pollinators. Strawberry plants are dependent on insects for successful pollination. Pollinator exclusion experiments indicate the degree to which a plant depends on insects for pollination. In contrast, pollen supplementation (supplementary insect pollination or hand pollination) indicates the degree to which the reproduction is limited by the availability of pollen. Plants can be dependent on pollinators but not limited by the availability of pollen.
