This study evaluated the effective pollination period (EPP) in four European plum cultivars in western Norway. The results showed that the cultivar 'Jubileum' had the highest fruit set and a longer EPP of five days compared to the other cultivars with a three-day EPP. Weather variations during the flowering period did not have a major impact on fruit set, indicating that EPP differences are mainly determined by maternal genotype.
This study evaluated the effective pollination period (EPP) in four European plum (Prunus domestica L.) cultivars ('Mallard', 'Edda', 'Jubileum', and 'Reeves') during two years (2018-2019) under the environmental conditions in western Norway. The pollination of plum cultivars was carried out one, three, five, seven, and nine days after anthesis (DAA) with a pollen mix of two compatible cultivars ('Victoria' and 'Opal'). Initial, middle-season, and final fruit set was recorded after one month and two months after pollination and just before the harvest, respectively. On average from both years cultivar 'Jubileum' had the highest fruit set when pollinated one, three, five, seven, and nine DAA (33.23%, 30.83%, 8.47%, 3.08%, and 1.15%, respectively), which was more than two folds higher fruit set than in the other studied cultivars. Cultivar 'Jubileum' showed significantly reduced fruit set between pollination on five and nine DAA, while cultivars 'Mallard', 'Edda', and 'Reeves' had markedly reduced fruit set if pollinated three to five DAA, implying that the EPP in 'Jubileum' was five days while in the rest it was three days. Variation of weather conditions during the flowering period in both years did not have a major effect on the receptivity of stigmas in the studied plum cultivars, which means that the existing differences in the length of EPP is maternal-genotype dependent.
