Pollination for parental crosses in lettuce with hoverflies
The introduction of active pollinators is a proven strategy to improve the quality and yield of seed, especially in genetic improvement programs, where cross-pollination is a real challenge.
Polyfly offers that quality boost. Our hoverflies, QUEENFLY® and GOLDFLY®, actively visit the flower heads of plants, and especially their small lettuce flowers, promoting pollen movement and cross-pollination. This intervention provides clear advantages:
- Increased production of viable seed per plant.
- A valuable resource for improving hybrid vigor in breeding programs.
- Higher-quality and more uniform seed lots.
Take your lettuce seed production a step further. Enhance your crop with the help of Polyfly.
