“…These recent studies show that a genotype's pollen viability responds differently to calcium and B applications (Karabıyık et al, 2017;Peñaloza and Toloza, 2018). Regarding germination levels, Muengkaew et al (2017) reported that different doses of B and calcium applications positively affects pollen germination in mango trees. Nyomora et al (2000) have reported that pollen germination rates and pollen tube growth were significantly increased by applying B to the germination medium.…”

Several factors influence fruit set and yield in strawberry production. Bees play an important role in pollinating strawberry flowers; however, bee populations are decreasing due to air pollution and high usage of pesticides. Boron (B) can increase fruit set by improving pollen viability, germination, and pollen tube growth. This study aimed to assess how the application of honey bees and B fertilizer affects yields and marketable fruit quality of Fortuna strawberry cultivar. The experiment used two strawberry growing tunnels. One was open, thus allowing bee activity, and the other was closed, which meant that bees could not access the strawberry flowers. Each tunnel had different B applications. The presence of bees increased the total fruit yield per plant by 54% compared to the results of plants that were not pollinated by bees. Plants treated with bees yielded bigger fruit than those without bee treatment, which is likely a result of more achenes having been fertilized. Fruit formation, however, did not depend directly on pollinator activity. Both in the presence and absence of bees, applying B to the soil increased yields and decreased misshapen fruit rates. Applying B to the soil was more effective than B foliar applications. As a result of this study, it is demonstrated that strawberry plants perform at a higher rate with the application of B and the presence of bee activity.

“…Pollen germination is influenced by several factors including nutrition (Imani & Talaie 2006, Bal & Ubak 2005, Maita & Sotomayor 2015, Muengkaew et al 2016 and plant growth regulators (Kovaleva et al 2005, Wu et al 2008. Nutrients, such as sucrose, boron, and magnesium have obvious effects on pollen growth (Chen et al 2009, Liu et al 2013, Naik et al 2016.…”

“…Therefore, understanding the factors affecting pollen vigor could help with implementing management measures to improve fertilization and fruit yield (De-oliveira et al 2016). In vitro pollen germination and tube growth are affected by nutrients and plant growth regulators (Maita et al 2015, Muengkaew et al 2016. Proper application of nutrients and regulators is an effective method to promote pollen germination and tube growth (Lin et al 2017, Naik et al 2016, Radovic et al 2016, and is also beneficial for fruit production (Gao et al 2012).…”

Oil Tea (Camellia oleifera) is an important woody edible oil plant in China. Oil Tea suffers from low rate of fruit set during production, which is related to poor pollination and fertilization. Pollen vigor is directly related to pollination and fertilization. Using the interspecifi c hybrid Y3 (C. grijsii × C. oleifera) as plant material, we studied the effects of sucrose, H 3 BO 3 , MgSO 4 , and IAA on pollen germination using an orthogonal design to determine the best culture medium. Results indicated that pollen germination rates were signifi cantly affected by medium components and ranged from 29.13% to 56.84%. Pollen tube length was the longest in the T5 medium surpassing the control group by 489.36 μm. MgSO 4 turned out to be the most important germination medium component having great effect on the pollen germination rate. The optimal culture medium to promote pollen tube growth of Oil Tea Y3 was: 1% agar, 150 g•L-1 sucrose, 0.15 g•L-1 H 3 BO 3 , 0.07 g•L-1 MgSO 4 , and 0.01 g•L-1 IAA. The results of this paper may provide information for foliar application of Mg and IAA, which can improve pollen tube growth of Oil Tea in practice.

“…Hafeez et al (2013) showed the essential role of Zinc for many enzymes which are needed for plant metabolism, energy transfer and protein synthesis. As Zn is required for the synthesis of tryptophan which is a precursor of IAA, it also has an active role in the production of an essential growth hormone auxin.. Also, It was found by Muengkaew et al, (2017) that, spraying high concentration of Ca and B solution increased the number of hermaphrodite flowers of mango cultivar Mahachanok. This maybe due to the calcium boron solution resulted in a longer inflorescence, which cause the number of perfectly formed flowers.…”

This experiment was carried out during 5102/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons on 15 years old of mango Ewais cultivar trees grown in the Mansoura Horticulture Research Station Experimental Farm located at(latitude 31°07'47.7"N,longitude 31°28'13.7"E)to investigate the efficacy of calcium,cinc and boron foliar application individually or in combinations at different times and concentrations on flowering, yield and fruit quality.The results indicated that,all tested treatments increased reproductive parameters,yield and fruit quality compared with control.Spraying 2.5 ml/L of each calcium,zinc and boron combination increased panicle length and sex ratio,while spraying 2.5 ml/L of boron alone led to an increase in the male and total number of flowers,but,spraying 2.5 ml/L of zinc alone increased the hermaphroditic flowers.Trees sprayed with 2.5 ml/L of calcium individually produced the highest number of fruits and yield per tree followed by boron treatment,but trees sprayed with the combination of three elements gave the highest fruit height,width and volume.Meanwhile,the individual zinc treatment was superior for fruit weight followed by the high level of combination treatment.Foliar application of individual boron or in combination with calcium and zinc improve fruit TSS and TSS/acid ratio and decrease the acidity.Trees sprayed with 2.5ml/L of calcium,zinc and boron in combination resulted the highest values of leaf Ca, Zn and B content followed by1.25ml/Lof the same combination.On the other side, the individual tested elements leads to increasing the corresponding leaf content of each one. It could be recommended that spraying calcium,zinc and boron combination at 2.5ml/L four times is the best treatment for increasing yield and fruit quality
