Effect of Bombus terrestris Pollination on Greenhouse Eggplant in Chongqing

The effect of Bombus terrestris pollination on greenhouse eggplant was studied in Chongqing in order to effective makes use of bumblebee pollination. Bumblebee pollination was compared with non-bumblebee pollination. The results showed that the fruit-set rate of bumblebee pollination group had increased 46.30% than non-bumblebee pollination group, the fruit-deformity rate had reduced 70%, the weight of fruit had increased 37.45%, the single plant yield had increased 68.28%, the VC content had increased 22.69%, the sugar content had reduced 7.27%. We may reasonably arriveat the conclusion that bumblebee pollination could not only increase the fruit-set rate and the yield but also improve thefruit quality of greenhouse eggplant in Chongqing.
