Abstract
The Biovac®, a tractor-propelled insect vacuum device, was evaluated for its effect on strawberry pollination. The device had little effect on the dispersal pattern of pollen ejected by its exhaust pipe. However, viability of ejected pollen was half that of pollen collected directly from flowers. Fruit weight and degree of pollination of fruit from flowers pollinated only by pollen dispersed by the Biovac were inferior (significantly 12 times out of 16) to those of flowers exposed to all pollinating agents. Key words: Biovac®, insect vacuum device, strawberry, pollination, Fragaria × ananassa
