Technical Specifications of Our Pollen
Stop guessing. The era of informal, DIY pollen is over. Agro360 delivers pharmaceutical-grade precision to your orchard.
99% Purity (No Debris, No Clogging)
What does 99% purity actually mean? Homemade, raw pollen is full of anthers, dust, and inert floral debris. This raw mix clogs the nozzles of your dusters and sprayers, causing costly machine downtime and uneven application. Agro360 pollen is micro-filtered and dehumidified, resulting in a free-flowing, pure powder that ensures continuous operation for contractors and perfect distribution across the orchard.
- Calibrated grain granulometry: 20–30 μm without static clumping
- Residual moisture strictly controlled at <8%
- Compatible with all electrostatic and pneumatic machinery
Germinability Target >90%
Pollen is a living organism. If it's dead, it's just expensive dust. We test our pollen in vitro on Agar plates to ensure a target germinability of over 90%. High vitality directly correlates with a higher seed count in the fruit, which is the scientific driver for increased fruit size (dry matter) and uniformity. Don't buy pollen; invest in millimeters of fruit caliber.
- >1,100 fertilized seeds required for Class 1 export caliber (>100g)
- In-vitro Agar assay validates actual 24-hour pollen tube growth
- Mitochondrial vitality confirmed by Tetrazolium assay (TTC ≥ 90%)

Production Process and -20°C Cold Chain
Our transparent hybrid supply chain combines direct farming expertise with rigorous laboratory protocols.
Direct Production in Agro Pontino
Harvested in our specialized male orchards in the Agro Pontino region, the historical epicenter of Italy's kiwifruit industry. Flowers are hand-picked at optimal balloon stage (BBCH 61) to guarantee peak pollen grain vitality.
Rigorous Purification & Pedonlab Screening
We source from selected partners, but every single gram is purified, dehumidified, sifted, and subjected to Real-Time PCR molecular screening and germination assays at the accredited reference laboratory Pedonlab S.r.l. (Latina) operating under the international EPPO PM 7/120 standard.
Cryogenic Storage at -20°C & NIST Dataloggers
From the moment of extraction, the pollen is stored at a constant -20°C in moisture-barrier hermetic packs. We ship using isothermal transport with calibrated NIST data-loggers, ensuring the cold chain is never broken and the pollen reaches your farm fully viable.
Accredited diagnostic laboratory suite in Latina conducting real-time PCR molecular assays under international EPPO PM 7/120 protocols to certify PSA-Free status prior to commercial release.
The "Try First, Commit Later" Protocol: Pre-Bloom Scientific Validation
In kiwifruit orchards, flowering lasts only 3 to 5 days, and fruit set is only visible 10 to 15 days after petal fall—when the entire orchard's bloom has already finished. That is why trust is not built on unrealistic promises during the bloom, but through a rigorous, pre-season scientific protocol backed by accredited third-party lab documentation.
Official Germinability Lab Report Prior to Payment
Before seasonal payment, you receive the official in-vitro Agar germination assay report (target >90%) conducted on your specific lot by the accredited reference laboratory Pedonlab S.r.l. (Latina).
Molecular PCR Certificate Pre-Payment (EPPO PM 7/120)
You receive the official Real-Time PCR test report issued by Pedonlab S.r.l. under the EPPO PM 7/120 diagnostic standard, certifying the lot is 100% PSA-Free prior to paying the seasonal balance.
Early Booking & Batch Reservation at -20°C
Once biological and phytosanitary parameters are verified through official reports, confirm your orchard volume with Early Booking: the tested batch is sealed, reserved in your name at -20°C, and shipped with temperature data-loggers during your flowering window, with priority access to emergency reserve stock.

Cultivar Compatibility
Different kiwifruit varieties require precise pollination timing and specific male matches. Our pollen is optimized for:
Gold Kiwifruit (Yellow)
Perfectly suited for high-value club varieties (e.g., Gold3, Soreli, Dori) that are highly sensitive to floral asynchrony. Extreme flower counts (>450,000 flowers/ha) demand intense, repeated pollination to secure high dry matter and uniform shape.
Green Kiwifruit (Hayward)
Ideal for standard Hayward crops needing a top-up to maximize yield. A minimum of 1,100 fertilized seeds per fruit is scientifically required to attain Class 1 export caliber (>100g) and eliminate unmarketable flattened fruit.
Red Kiwifruit
Tailored solutions for early-blooming red varieties. Early seasonal flowering often occurs 10 to 15 days ahead of male vines, making preserved, certified pollen the only reliable safeguard against catastrophic pollination failures.
Contact our agronomists to match the exact male pollen profile (e.g., Tomuri, Matua, Autari, or M-Series clones) to your female vines and local microclimate.
How to Apply in the Field
Our 99% pure pollen can be applied using various methods:
Dry Dusting
Mixed with our high-grade lycopodium powder as a carrier to prevent static clumping and ensure even spread across the floral canopy. Ideal for knapsack electrostatic blowers and automated orchard rigs.
Wet Spraying
Ideal for application in aqueous suspension with specific wetting agents and osmotic stabilizers. Formulated with sucrose and buffer stabilizers to preserve cellular membrane integrity and prevent pollen burst in liquid suspension.
Do not calculate price per kilogram.
Calculate real yield protection per hectare.
A benchmark price of €1,800–1,900/kg translates to an actual orchard investment of €800–1,100/ha. With 99% physical purity and certified >90% target viability, the export Class 1 yield boost fully covers the investment while eliminating PSA pathogen risk.

Strategic Clarifications
Everything you need to know about our 99% pure kiwifruit pollen, third-party laboratory verification, and the pre-season booking protocol.
DIY farm pollen is full of vegetative trash, broken anther filaments, fungal spores, and inert dust that clogs duster nozzles and causes costly machine breakdowns during tight flowering windows. More critically, untested farm pollen is the primary transmission vector for virulent Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (PSA). Agro360 delivers 99% pure botanical pollen, laboratory-certified for a >90% germination target, and certified PSA-Free via accredited molecular Real-Time PCR under EPPO PM 7/120.
Every single lot is tested by our accredited reference laboratory partner, Pedonlab S.r.l. (Latina), using Real-Time PCR molecular screening under the official EPPO PM 7/120 diagnostic protocol with a Limit of Detection (LOD) < 10 CFU/g. Each shipment is issued with an official EU Plant Passport (RUOP IT-12-1908) complying with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, providing full regulatory traceability and shielding your orchard from quarantine sanctions.
From extraction in our Agro Pontino biotech facility, the pollen is vacuum-sealed in multi-layer vapor-barrier hermetic containers and stored at a constant -20°C. Shipments travel in calibrated isothermal packaging equipped with NIST USB/wireless temperature dataloggers. You can audit the unbroken thermal trace directly upon arrival before breaking the seal.
In kiwifruit, flowering lasts only 3 to 5 days, and fruit set is only visible 10 to 15 days after petal fall—when bloom is already finished. Rather than relying on verbal promises, we supply your lot-specific analytical certificates (Real-Time PCR and in-vitro Agar germination test issued by Pedonlab S.r.l.) prior to seasonal settlement. Once verified, you confirm Early Booking: your lot is sealed, reserved at -20°C, and assigned a +10% emergency buffer in our cryogenic vault.
Kiwifruit size and dry matter content (DMC) are directly driven by seed fertilization: for Hayward green kiwi, a minimum of 1,100 fertilized seeds is biologically required to achieve Class 1 export size (>100g). For gold club varieties (SunGold G3, Dorì), high seed density is mandatory for DMC >17%. Applying pollen with a tested >90% germination rate guarantees high pollen tube elongation, eliminating misshapen, flat, or underweight fruit.
