Mechanical pollination – it’s all about timing
By Gal Sapir When planning to perform precision mechanical pollination in orchards, there are several important aspects of precision to consider. One such aspect is the precise amount or dosage of pollen dispersed. As the production process of pollen is expensive,...
Mechanical Pollination – From Concept to Reality
The importance of supplemental mechanical pollination has been gaining significant interest lately.
Overcoming challenges related to both, wind and insect pollination, is a
Can Self-Fertile Varieties Solve the Pollination Problem in Orchards?
By Gal Sapir In orchards growing Rosaceae varieties such as almonds, cherries, apples, pears, plums, and more, a mechanism called Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility (GSI) prevents self-fertilization. This means that different varieties must interplant in the...
The Impact of Self-Incompatibility on Almond Pollination
By Gal Sapir Self-incompatibility (SI) plays a crucial role in the pollination process of flowering plants by preventing fertilization with their own pollen. As a result, SI plants rely on cross-fertilization to produce fruit. Many plant species exhibit...
Happy to Host the 2023 Annual Tour of Israeli Almond Growers
Yesterday we were happy to host the 2023 annual tour of the almond growers in Israel, in Edete’s dedicated orchard for pollen production and to present our proprietary autonomous pollinator used for precise pollination of almond orchards. Thanks to Gal...
Enhancing Precision in Pollination: Debunking Misconceptions
By Gal Sapir Introduction: The terminology surrounding pollination often distinguishes between natural and artificial methods. However, when it comes to pollination in horticulture, these terms can be misleading. In this article, we aim to clarify the misconceptions...

Precision Pollination Contributes 28% Increase of Almond Yield
For its fifth consecutive year, Edete’s precision pollination service has demonstrated a significant contribution to securing and increasing agricultural yields. On February 2022, Edete completed an additional pollination trial at a commercial orchard. The trial...
Fully Autonomous Artificial Pollination is Feasible!
Edete Precision Technologies for Agriculture – a provider of end-to-end artificial pollination as a service – and Blue White Robotics have run a joint pilot to demonstrate the feasibility of fully autonomous mechanized pollination in orchards. Edete,...
