A modified hand pollination technique coniting of applying counted number of pollen grain of variou varietie wa found ueful for comparing the potential capacity of the pollen variety to induce eed and fruit development. Currently, the only completely atifactory mean of eval uating pollinator i with actual field planting. rom a comprehenive urvey of commercial grove, everal varietie were found uitable a pollinator for '' tangelo and '' tangerine. Le data were obtained for '', '', 'Page' and '' varietie. Introduction In recent year there have been large in creae in planting of interpecific hybrid of grapefruit and tangerine. ome of thee varie tie are commercially claified a tangelo and ome a tangerine. Many of thee hybrid are exually elfincompatible and only weakly parthenocarpic. Therefore, they fruit erratically unle uitable pollinator are ued to induce fruiting through the timulu of eed production (2,, 12) or unle their parthenocarpy i trengthened through girdling (7) or pray application of gibberellic acid (4, 5). The ue of pollinator reult in the mot conitent fruit ing and the reulting eedy fruit are larger than lorida Agricultural Experiment tation Journal erie No t\ partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Mater of cience in Agriculture degree. the eedle parthenocarpically produced one (). Unfortunately, the elfincompatible varietie were releaed before their pollinator require ment were known (9, 10, 11). Thu, the grower ha been faced with the dilemma of electing pollinator with inufficient information. Extenive reearch with both hand pollina tion and field evaluation of pollinator for 'Or lando' tangelo ha been reported (4, ); however, much le information i available for electing pollinator for uch varietie a '', '', '', 'Page' and '; moreover, mot of the information on thee varietie i baed on tandard hand pollination technique or caging pollinator with bee (2). Krezdorn and Robin on () in lorida and Oppenheimer (8) in Irael reported tandard hand pollination tech nique to at time be inconitent with perform ance of pollinator in the field. Thu, ome of the current information i quetionable. The purpoe of thi work wa to more fully invetigate the reliability of hand pollination technique a the ole bai for electing pollina tor, to evaluate the effectivene of currently ued pollinator in commercial planting and to develop an in vivo method of comparing the effec tivene of variou pollen ource in cauing eed development and fruiting in elfincompatible varietie. Material and Method tandard hand pollination tet a a bai for electing pollinator. Pollen of everal varietie (Table 2) wa tranferred to the tigmatic ur face of pitil of '' and '' by bruhing them with frehly dehiced anther of the pollen variety. Thi procedure reult in the tranfer of hundred of grain of pollen to the elfincompatible flower. The hoot were carefully elected for good vigor and flower were the leafy bloom type,

Each pollen treatment wa applied to a total of 100 flower. A localized area on 1 ide of a tree contituted a tatitical block, with blocking deigned to eliminate variability of poition on the tree. Within thi block, each treatment wa applied to 5 flower. Thu, a randomized block experiment with 5 flower plot and 20 replica tion wa developed and tatitically analyzed. Effectivene of pollinator in commercial planting. Commercial grove of fruiting age tree of elfincompatible varietie were located throughout the citru area and the pollinating variety, if any, noted. Grower were quetioned a to whether any advere pet or environmental condition dratically influenced the bloom or early fruit development. Any grove with uch problem were eliminated. Emphai wa placed on the 2 mot important elfincompatible varie tie, * ' tangelo and '' tangerine, but everal other were alo invetigated. ruiting wa etimated by counting the fruit within a 2 x 2 foot frame placed at a height of feet and againt the foliage of the tree to be evaluated. ortyfive frame count were made per grove and the mean count per frame cal culated. rame were placed againt tree e lected at random, throughout the grove in which pollinator were abent. In grove with pollina tor, tree elected at random in row adjacent to pollinator were ued and the arithmetic mean or average number of fruit per frame wa calculated. Thirty fruit were randomly harveted from the tree ued and the eed counted. In ome planting there were o few fruit no ample were taken for eed count. Comparion of known quantitie and kind of pollen. Known quantitie of different varietie of pollen were placed on '' and '' flower repectively that had been thinned to 1 per hoot, depetaled and emaculated. Known quantitie of pollen were obtained from frehly opened anther of the deired variety with harpened diecting needle, a method ug geted by Alkamine and Giorlomi (1). Thi wa done with the aid of diecting microcope lo cated in the field adjacent to the experimental tree. Aitant tranported the pollen on the needle tip to the flower and carefully wiped it off onto the tigmatic urface of the pitil. Examination of the needle point indicated all the pollen wa tranferred. Two experiment were conducted with 'Or lando'. In one, 10, 25, 50, and 100 grain of '' pollen were tranferred to the tigmatic urface of '' flower and compared with flower to which the tandard maive amount of pollen had been tranferred by bruhing frehly opened anther of '' over the tigmatic urface of '' until the latter turned yellow. The experimental deign conited of 5 flower per plot replicated 10 time. Thu, each quantity of pollen wa applied to 50 flower. Analyi of variance and difference between mean were cal culated. A econd experiment with '', com pared 25 grain of '', '', '', 'Dancy' and '' varietie, with '' being conidered the tandard. Otherwie, the procedure were imilar. With '', experimental procedure were imilar except 10, 20, 40, and 80 grain and maive amount of '' and '' pollen repectively were compared and each treatment contained 5 flower. In all experiment the fruit were harveted and counted about 1 month prior to maturity. Reult and Dicuion tandard hand pollination tet a a bai for electing pollinator. It i clearly evident that '' and '' are elfincompatible and unfruitful in the abence of cropollination and that a wide range of pollen ource are equally effective in inducing eed formation and fruitfulne, Table 2. Thi i in agreement with previou work (2, 4,, 8, 12). There were no tatitical difference due to pollen ource, other than elfing. In aeing thi data, it i per tinent that the hoot were carefully elected and every effort made to develop preciion. The % fruit et wa high becaue of the careful elec tion of hoot and the removal of flower from the area adjacent to thoe pollinated. On the other hand, ome pollinator varietie were le effective in commercial planting where the honey bee wa the pollinating agent, Table. or example, '' wa almot completely ineffective a a polinator for both '' and '' even though hand pollination tet had indicated the revere. 'Pineapple' wa lightly better but certainly le than adequate. 'Paron

The 'Dancy' and '' pollen came from 4 yearold tree and the other pollen from mature one but there i no evidence thi make a differ ence. However, thi experiment wa deigned only to etablih a principle and precie compari on of varietie will require more data. It wa concluded that the ame principle etablihed for '* hold for '', Table 7. '' wa much le effective than '' pollen on a per grain bai but the dif ference wa maked when maive amount of both were ued. The number of grain of '' needed for maximum yield wa about 40, which agreed cloely with the '' data. A in the cae of tandard pollination tet involving maive application of pollen, thee tet alone are not ufficient to delineate thoe varietie which are good pollinator. They do not take into account pecie or variety preference by the bee, the amount of pollen carried by bee, the number of viit bee make to citru flower and the amount of pollen produced by flower of given varietie, none of which have received ig nificant tudy in citru. However, thee tet are more accurate than tandard tet in determining the comparative ability of variou pollen varie tie to induce fruiting and eed formation. urther reearch with thi method can lead to a more thorough undertanding of the pollination problem in citru and ait in overcoming them. Evaluation of pollinator in commercial plant ing. Evaluation of pollinator in commercial planting i the only ure way of determining their effectivene. Moreover, a 1year evaluation of a grove or 2 will not uffice. The peculiaritie of the honey bee, the time of bloom of variou varietie, erratic or alternate blooming charac teritic and age of tree are all involved. Ober vation have been made of everal pollinator in '' planting for 11 year; however, little ha been reported on the reciprocal performance of the relatively new varietie ('', '', '', 'Page' and '') a commercial pol linator. Table contain the data obtained in a 1year urvey of pollinator in commercial grove. The data for ome of the varietie are very limited and recommendation are therefore tentative. The number of pollinator and their pacing varied tremendouly and thi greatly influenced the frame count value obtained. Thu, the quantative data were tempered with obervation made in careful inpection of the planting. The eed content i particularly coare and nearly alway kewed becaue highly parthenocarpic varietie produce ome eedle fruit even with pollinator, thereby reducing the average eed content. Thu, the eed number wa ued only to determine whether the pollinator wa cauing eedine. Tentative pollinator recommendation are given in Table 4 and dicued below. or 'Robino7i', '', '', '', and 'Page' atifactorily induced fruiting. '' caued uch heavy fruiting that evere limb breakage wa common. Thi may alo become a problem with '', for which only limited data were obtained. pacing the '' at wider in terval might prevent thi but no background of experience i available on which to modify the currently recommended plan. 'Page' appeared to atifactorily induce fruiting in '' but '' wa virtually valuele in thi repect, which agree with hand pollination tet (12). Table 4.
