| Description | The regeneration technique for multiplication of seed in legume genetic resources was tested, using so called technical isolation and bumble bees as pollinators. To lower the costs, two plant species were grown under one cover. Generally, bumblebees were found to be effective pollination agents. The existing differences among various bumblebee species could influence the obtained results. In this sence more detailed trials are needed. |
