Abstract
This paper presents the course of hazel pollination season in selected cities of Poland in 2008. The measurements were performed in Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Drawsko Pomorskie, Cracow, Sosnowiec, Lublin, Olsztyn, Szczecin, Warsaw and Wrocław. Volumetric method with the use of Volumetric Spore Trap (Burkard, Lanzoni) was implemented. Pollen season was defined as the period in which 95% of the annual total catch occurred. Pollen season of hazel in 2009 started about 40 days later in comparison to 2008, and about 50 days later in comparison to 2007. The season started first in Lublin (08 February – 26 hazel pollen grain/1 m3). The highest 24-hour average pollen count was recorded in Lublin on 28 March (362 hazel pollen grains/1 m3).
