不同蜂传粉对设施桃果实生长发育和品质的影响

Effects of pollination by different bees on peach fruit development and quality under greenhouse conditions

  • 摘要: 应用意大利蜜蜂和小峰熊蜂在北京平谷区果树试验站为设施桃传粉, 以研究2 种蜂的传粉行为对设施桃果实生长发育及其品质的影响。结果表明,应用小峰熊蜂授粉, 设施桃果实在整个发育过程中的果径增长速度显著高于意大利蜜蜂授粉的果实(P<0.05)。2 种蜂授粉的设施桃果实发育历期不同,小峰熊蜂授粉区的桃果实比意大利蜜蜂授粉区的果实提前7 d 左右成熟。桃的生理落果高峰在小峰熊蜂授粉区出现2 次,而在意大利蜜蜂授粉区出现3 次。在小峰熊蜂授粉区, 距离蜂箱不同距离之间的桃座果率基本一致; 而在意大利蜜蜂授粉区, 座果率随着与蜂箱距离的增大而明显降低。小峰熊蜂授粉区桃树的平均座果率略高于意大利蜜蜂授粉区, 但二者之间差异不显著(P>0.05)。经2 种蜂传粉的设施桃果实营养品质差异不显著(P>0.05), 但二者均明显优于人工授粉组(对照)。和意大利蜜蜂授粉的桃果实相比, 经小峰熊蜂传粉后的桃果实, 单果重高, 畸形果率低(P<0.05)。本研究认为中国本土小峰熊蜂为设施桃的传粉效率优于意大利蜜蜂。

     

    Abstract: Honeybee Apis mellifera and bumblebee Bombus hypocrita are the two main pollinators of greenhouse peaches in China. The effects of pollination by the two bee species on peach fruit development and quality were studied in greenhouse conditions in Pinggu of Beijing City for 2008~2010. The results showed that the diameter growth rate of peach fruit pollinated by B. hypocrita was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of peach fruit pollinated by A. mellifera. The developmental duration of peach fruit pollinated by the two bee species differed, with B. hypocrita pollinating fruits ripening on the average by seven days earlier than A. mellifera pollinating fruits. While a di-peak physiological fruit-drop was noted in B. hypocrita pollinating fruits, a tri-peak physiological fruit-drop was observed in A. mellifera pollinating fruits. The rate of fruit setting of B. hypocrita pollinating peaches under greenhouse conditions did not significantly changed with the distance of peach trees to beehives. The rate of fruit setting of A. mellifera pollinating peaches under greenhouse significantly declined with increasing distance to beehives. There existed no significant difference (P>0.05) in fruit quality between fruits pollinated by different pollinator species. However, the quality of fruits pollinated by bees was significantly better (P<0.05) than that of the control (artificial pollination). Compared with A. mellifera pollination, B. hypocrita pollination resulted in higher single fruit weight and lower rate of malformed fruit (P<0.05) of peach fruits. In conclusion, the Chinese native bumblebee B. hypocrita was a better pollinator of greenhouses peach than the honeybee A. mellifera.
