Applying pollen to flowers in a wet spray form has a direct positive effect on our productivity and helps us achieve top 10% industry OGR’s on our production blocks. It becomes especially important on our younger developing blocks where male vines are not yet fully developed, and it has the added bonus of achieving great pollination in wet weather when bee pollination is compromised.
Southern Cross Horticulture uses All Terrain Pollination on around 46 high producing hectares of Zespri Sungold Kiwifruit.
