| Abstract:
The effect of pollenizer distance on fruit set and number of seeds per fruit was investigated in apple cvs Jonathan, Golden Delicious and Starking. Pollinizer distance varied between 5 and 80 meters. There was only open pollination. The cultivars did not behave similarly. There was a significant effect of pollinizer distance on fruit set at 30 days after petal fall and at harvest in Golden Delicious and Starking. No significant differences were recorded for Jonathan. | |
