Given our general reliance on something called “food” you’d think the issue of pollination — and its general decline — might be higher up the world’s agenda. Over 80% of crops require insect ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of ...

The Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic that models the pollination behaviour of flowering plants. It combines global and local search mechanisms, drawing on ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid farming through artificial pollination. They could prove especially useful in the ...

Wild bees are going extinct. Domesticated bees are trucked all over the country to pollinate crops at great cost. Could this robot be a better solution? And could it help save the bees?

Fruit crop production relies on effective transfer of pollen to achieve fertilisation, fruit set and quality. Natural pollination by insects—principally bees, bumble bees and other wild ...

Chinese Academy of Sciences deploys AI-driven systems to replace manual hybrid breeding processes with precision robotics China’s agricultural sector is undergoing a rapid structural transformation, ...

Cheongsong County in North Gyeongsang Province has begun harvesting apple blossoms from a crabapple cultivation complex in Cheongun-ri, Cheongsong-eup, to produce pollen for artificial pollination.

In an effort to save the bees and buttress the global food supply, Edete, an Israel-based agricultural technology company, has set out to reduce the strain on bees by assisting them with crop ...
