Japanese researchers have use drone machine delivered bubbles can pollinate flowering plants
Japanese researchers have attached a bubble
machine to a drone to show artificial pollination flowering plants.
The Pollinators bees are hard to beat. The
researchers working on a high-tech alternative drones that blow soap bubbles to
transport pollen to a flower.
Last three-fourths of the world’s crops
depends on insect pollination to reproduce. However, due to climate change and
the widespread use of pesticides, bee and other pollinator number are declining
worldwide.
Many
U.S. farmers resorted to trucking bees around the country when pollinators are
needed. Scientists warn about what this could mean for the future of our food
supply.
however, Japanese researcher say they might
have a solution and it involves blowing soap bubbles.
Yu Gu, a roboticist at West Virginia
University, is skeptical about the use of drones to deliver bubbles. Researcher
created a light bubble solution that was able to suspend both natural pollen
grains and a germination solution. Researcher used that solution in a bubble
gun. They achieved a 95% pollination rate in pear orchard.

“This is yet another piece of smart
engineering being to solve a problem which can be solved in much more effective
and sustainable ways.”
