Product Highlights

Increases pollen hydration: Polli-Build contains pollen hydrating molecules. Desiccation limits pollen viability and life expectancy. Most pollen grains are metabolically quiescent and highly desiccated, ranging from 15 to 35% water content when released from the anthers; therefore the first step in successful pollination requires successful pollen hydration. Hydrating agents in Polli-Build help the pollen to absorb water from their surroundings thus preventing the pollen grain and stigma drying out.

Increases pollen germination: The unique composition of the micronutrients present in Polli-Build act as activators for enzymes involved in penetration of stigma by pollen tube (pollen germination). Particularly the enzymes acid phosphatase, ribonuclease, esterase, amylase, and protease increase in activity. These enzymes are localized to pollen intines (the inner coating of the pollen) and tubes and their activation is required for successful pollen tube growth. Esterases, particularly those known as cutinases, are important for breaching the stigma cuticle to guide the pollen tube into the stigma. Polli-Build’s nutritional package supports the whole process.

Increases pollen tube growth: Activators present in Polli-Build, up-regulate the genes that are involved in pollen tube growth (particularly Indole 3-acetic acid genes) and down regulate the ethylene synthesis genes which have adverse effects on pollination and fertilization.

Increases fertilization/fruit set: Once all the above physiological responses have been maximized the result is increased fertilization.

Bee Foraging and Activity

Pollen is a plant protein; flowers that secrete large amounts of nectar or pollen are highly attractive to the bee populations. Polli-Build is formulated with specific organic acids which contain polyamines which are critical for pollen germination, viability and pollen tube growth. This composition is unique to the formulation of Polli-Build. Recent studies into bee communication, found that polyamines during a flowers reproductive cycle play an important role in foraging, as bees use these as chemical cues and also as pheromone synthesizing agents.

Rate of Use

Polli-Build is designed to be applied as a foliar/bloom spray at 2.5 liters/ha for all crops with sufficient water for thorough coverage. Use at least 300 liters of water to cover one Ha of fruit trees. Use 200 liters of water to cover one Ha of oilseed rape or bean crops.

Polli-Build™ is designed to apply as a foliar spray at 2.5 liters per hectare with sufficient water for thorough coverage. Use at least 400 liters of water to cover one Ha of fruit trees. Use 200 liters of water to cover one Ha of Oilseed rape.

Technical Details & Test Data

Compatibility

Polli-Build is compatible with most known pesticides and fertilizers. A jar test is advised if the desired combination of mixing has not been previously used or if multiple product mixes are being employed. Polli-Build is not intended to supply full fertilizer needs of the crop through the reproductive phases. For more information please read the Polli-Build label.
