Biobest has announced the market introduction of Polly, a pollination robot designed for tomato growers.
“Arugga’s pollination robots are designed to work alongside bumblebees,” explains Jorden van de Walle, Product Manager for Pollination at Biobest.
At the same time, they can enhance overall pollination performance, helping growers maximize their yield potential and improve profitability.”
Bumblebees are highly effective pollinators, but certain environmental conditions can limit their activity and affect pollination performance.
First, we have significantly increased the robot’s operating speed, meaning that just one Polly robot is now sufficient to cover one hectare.
