“…Segundo Nunes-Silva et al (2010), os insetos podem favorecer a polinização em solanáceas com os movimentos vibratórios do corpo, que facilitam a liberação do pólen. Desta forma, vários pesquisadores, na tentativa de promover o mesmo efeito, realizaram vibração manual das flores ou das plantas, e obtiveram aumento de produção em tomate (SATTI, 1986;ILBI;BOZTOK, 1994;HIGUTI et al, 2010), mas o mesmo processo realizado em pimentão não afetou a produção (CARDOSO, 2007). Na presente pesquisa, a vibração ainda foi prejudicial no ambiente sem insetos polinizadores.…”

Resumo: Objetivou-se verificar o efeito da vibração de plantas na produção de frutos e sementes e na qualidade fisiológica de sementes de pimenta "Malagueta", em cultivo protegido, com laterais abertas e fechadas. O experimento foi realizado na Fazenda Experimental da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas da Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCA/UNESP), município de São Manuel (SP). Foram dois tratamentos, que consistiram em plantas com e sem vibração. As plantas foram vibradas manualmente, balançando-se o arame onde se prendia a taquara por cerca de 5 segundos, duas vezes por dia, durante 11 semanas. O delineamento foi em blocos, ao acaso, com seis repetições. O mesmo experimento foi realizado em dois ambientes protegidos, com e sem tela antiafídeos nas laterais, cultivados na mesma época. Para comparar os ambientes, realizouse análise conjunta, considerando cada ambiente como um experimento. As características avaliadas foram: massa e número de frutos por planta; massa, diâmetro e comprimento de fruto; massa e número de sementes por fruto; e altura de planta. Para análise de qualidade das sementes, determinou-se: porcentagem de germinação; primeira contagem de germinação; matéria seca de plântula; emergência de plântulas em substrato; e índice de velocidade de emergência de plântulas. Independentemente do ambiente de cultivo, a vibração prejudica a qualidade fisiológica das sementes. A presença de insetos polinizadores beneficia a produção e a qualidade de sementes de pimenta 'Malagueta' e aumenta a massa do fruto.Palavras-chave: Capsicum frutescens. Inseto polinizador.

Abstract:This study aimed to verify the effect of vibration of plants in the production of fruits and seeds and in the physiological quality of the seeds of the "Malagueta" pepper in a protected cultivated area with open and closed sides. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the School of Agronomic Sciences of Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCA/UNESP), located in the city of São Manuel (SP). Two treatments were carried out, which consisted of plants that did and did not undergo vibration. Plants were vibrated manually by swinging the wire attached to the supporting bamboo for about 5 seconds, twice a day for 11 weeks. The design was a randomized block with six repetitions. The same experiment was conducted in two protected environments, with and without anti-aphids screens on the sides, cultivated in the same season. For the comparison of environments, a combined analysis was performed considering each environment as a separate experiment. The characteristics evaluated were: weight and number of fruits per plant; weight, diameter and length of fruit; weight and amount of seeds per fruit; and plant height. For the analysis of seed quality, the characteristics evaluated were: germination percentage; first count of germination; dry matter of seedlings; seedling emergence in substrate; and seedling emergence speed index. Regardless of the environment, vibration ...

“…When vibrating racemes of tomato, they verified an increase in the production when comparing to the control without vibration (SATTI, 1986;ILBI & BOZTOK, 1994). Increases in productivity were also found by HIGUTI et al (2010) in tomato with plant vibration.…”

“…In greenhouse cultivation, pollination is normally accomplished by mechanical vibration of the flowers, as an alternative to the absence of wind and natural pollinators. However, the mechanical method increases the production costs as they require additional labor and can cause damage to flowers and thus to fruits (Cribb et al, 1993;Ilbi et al, 1994;Dogterom et al, 1998).…”

Stingless bees are considered particularly promising for use as commercial pollinators. However, studies testing the effectiveness of these bees in pollinating grape tomatoes in greenhouses are not yet available. This work aimed to analyze the floral biology of the grape tomato and evaluate whether the additional pollination performed by Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier generates an effective increase in production and improves the quality of this variety of tomato when grown in greenhouses. The research took place in two greenhouses located in Araguari, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. In one of them, we only used a mechanical method of pollination and, in the other, pollination by the mechanical method was associated with pollination performed by bees. The productivity was compared by recording the number of flowers and fruits formed on different branches, and tomato quality was assessed by analyzing their size, weight, number of seeds and total sugar content. Tomatoes originating from flowers visited by M. quadrifasciata workers produced about 47% more seeds and their concentration of sugar was approximately 14% higher. These results suggest that using M. quadrifasciata for tomato pollination shows to be promising, since their use as pollinators entails positive effects on fruit quality.
