Managed bumblebees outperform honeybees in increasing peach fruit set in China: different limiting processes with different pollinators.
Peach Prunus persica (L.) Batsch is self-compatible and largely self-fertile, but under greenhouse conditions pollinators must be introduced to achieve good fruit set and quality. Because little work has been done to assess the effectiveness of different pollinators on peach trees under greenhouse c...
