Abstract
Summary: A study of the effective pollination period (E.P.P.) of six varieties of apricot has shown that in the warm climate of the South Mediterranean this parameter is extremely short. The percentage of fruit set of emasculated flowers diminishes rapidly with time. Temperature plays an important role in this process and is responsible for the rapid degradation of the stigma, which hinders pollen germination.Keywords
