Sarah ArnoldRather excitingly, the hoverfly+bumblebee pollinated plants produced fruits with the highest vitamin C concentration, higher than either the self-pollination or hoverfly-pollination scenarios.

Sarah ArnoldStrawberries are a great source of vitamin C. When grown on farms, the quality standards are very high - fruit need to be regularly-shaped, decently-sized and evenly-coloured. Poor pollination can result in irregular and thus unmarketable fruit.<a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/SoftFruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftFruit</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Horticulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Horticulture</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Agriculture</a>

Sarah ArnoldReminder: Niab's Soft Fruit Technical Day coming up next week (28th November). Free online event, 09:10 to 14:15 GMT, a range of short talks on how our research can be applied to soft-fruit growing systems. Crop physiology & biology, IPPM, sustainable growing.<a href="https://www.niab.com/niab-soft-fruit-day-28-nov" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.niab.com/niab-soft-fruit-day-28-nov</a><a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Horticulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Horticulture</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/SoftFruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftFruit</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Agriculture</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/SustainableFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableFood</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/IPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPM</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Entomology</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/CropScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CropScience</a>

Sarah ArnoldAlso nice to catch up with Kent's amazing fruit growers, agronomists, biocontrol suppliers and others.Chatted about some of the projects we have around pollination and sustainable pest management in fruit crops.<a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/IPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPM</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/HorticulturalResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HorticulturalResearch</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farming</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Apples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apples</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Pears" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pears</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/SoftFruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftFruit</a>

The Chatty GardenerDodged the showers to get these in. It’s not been a bad year with the blackcurrant haul particularly good.
