| Research Abstract |
A fundamental knowledge on an artificial pollination using air vibration as an alternative technology of bees pollination was obtained in this research. A natural frequency of a floral organ for four tomato and two strawberry varieties were experimentally evaluated. And then a speaker generated an air vibration of the natural frequencies for floral organs of tomato and strawberry. The pollination conditions were observed by a microscope, and rate of fruit-setting was measured after the pollination using the air vibration. As a result, it became clear that the new pollination method using the air vibration is sufficiently possible although the rate of fruit-setting was lower than the conventional bees pollination method.
