Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper presents the course of alder pollination season in Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Drawsko Pomorskie, Krakow, Lublin, Lodz, Olsztyn, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Sosnowiec, Szczecin, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora in 2012. The research was conducted by means of the volumetric method using a Burkard and Lanzoni-type spore trap. The start and end of pollen season was determined by means of the 95% method. Pollen season of alder in Sosnowiec started in 2012 on February 26. The beginning of pollination season of alder took place in the first decade of March in Drawsko Pomorskie, Krakow, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Zielona Gora and in the second decade of March in Bialystok, Bydgoszcz, Lublin and Olsztyn. The highest daily concentration reaching 132 grains per m2 was recorded on March 21. Seasonal pollen index (SPI), estimated as annual sum of daily average pollen concentration, was the highest in Lublin (4449), Bialystok (4401) and Wroclaw (4150).
