cord-013356-y6vceq2x	Peace, Angela	Orchard layout and plant traits influence fruit yield more strongly than pollinator behaviour and density in a dioecious crop	2020-10-23		.txt	text/plain	5864	313	57	The predictive model provides strategies for improving crop management, such as choosing cultivars which have their peak bloom on the same day, increasing the number of flowers with approximately 70% female flowers in the orchard, and placing enough hives to maintain more than 6 bees per 1000 flowers to optimize yield. We expected that male-female kiwifruit flower ratio and pollinator density will influence fruit yield, along with various parameters of pollinator behavior. The model explicitly tracks pollinators (parameterized here based on data from honey bees), with varying pollen loads as they preferentially visit male and female flowers, as well as A major model output measure is the predicted yield, which is defined as the number of female flowers per ha that became fully pollinated fruit. The model includes preference parameters for pollinators to remain on the type of flower they are visiting, based again on data from honey bee observations.	./cache/cord-013356-y6vceq2x.txt	./txt/cord-013356-y6vceq2x.txt
