What was evaluated
The experiment was conducted in the Argentine Pampas and compared an Apis mellifera-only treatment with a pollinator-exclusion treatment.
Comparator and study design
The technical comparator was pollinator exclusion; the result describes the experimental design conducted in the Argentine Pampas.
Method and metric
Canola is self-compatible and still responded to insect visitation under the conditions studied.
What this result shows in the study context.
The approved public statement is 33% higher yield, accompanied by the comparator and experimental context.
Commercial application requires local assessment of the crop, flowering window and operating plan.
AgroBee connects evidence to the actual area: crop, flowering window, logistics, management and the metric defined for follow-up.
