Plant Pollinator interactions in high temperatures

Shading reduces flower temperature (and thus pollen). If a shade curtain is not available, whitewash or heat reducing paints can be used to reduce the amount [...] assimilates. In the act of self protection, the plant aborts the fruit to reduce fruit load on the plant and directs the assimilates to the vegetative growth [...] compromised. When temperatures are above these thresholds, any means to reduce the day or night temperature must be used. This includes using cooling at
