Spatiotemporal Variation in Pollination Deficits in an Insect-Pollinated Dioecious Crop

Spatiotemporal Variation in Pollination Deficits in an Insect-Pollinated Dioecious Crop

Inadequate quantity and quality of pollen reaching the stigmas decreases the sexual reproductive output of plants, compromising yield. Still, the current extent of pollen limitation affecting yield (i.e., pollination deficits) is poorly quantified. This study is aimed at quantifying pollination defi...
