Abstract

Kiwifruit producers manually collect pollen to prevent the spread of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar3 via contaminated pollen. As self-harvesting of kiwi fruit pollen is complicated, it calls for streamlining. Against this background, this study examined an efficient method of harvesting flowers at once. With this method, the amount of pollen harvested was the largest when about half of the disk flower was in bloom; this timing was thus deemed appropriate. Further, compared with the conventional method of harvesting flowers individually, this method helped shorten the length of harvesting flowers to around one-sixth and the amount of pollen harvested a day increased 2.5 times, so lightening the labor of harvesting flowers was expected. As opposed to this, the total amount of pollen harvested under this method proved less than half of that under the traditional method and the germinating rate was also lower by approximately 20%. Therefore, how to address this issue was considered to remain a challenge.
