| Sumario: | Pollination and subsequent fertilization are needed to ensure fruit set in stone fruit crops. Knowing the pollination requirements for particular cultivars is a necessity for an appropriate orchard design. Pollination management is receiving increasing importance due to the release of a number of new cultivars of unknown pollination requirements in most Prunus species. In addition, variable environmental conditions due to climate change and the interest in expanding stone fruit crops to new production areas with different climatic conditions are leading to a lack of coincidence in flowering time between pollinating and pollinated cultivars in many situations. In this work, the available information on pollination requirements of cultivars of the most cultivated stone fruit crops (almonds, apricots, cherries, peaches, and plums) is reviewed, paying special attention to the reproductive process, the self-(in)compatibility of each cultivar, the inter-incompatibility S-alleles and incompatibility groups, and the external factors affecting flowering and pollination. Results obtained in the last decades have allowed establishing the pollination requirements of most commercial cultivars in the main stone fruit crops. However, for the coming years, it will be necessary to continue determining the self-(in)compatibility and the inter-incompatibility relationships of the new releases. |
