Tiivistelmä	Pollination efficiency assessment quantifies the effectiveness of pollinator activity and pollen transfer in achieving fruit set. This method integrates field observation of pollinator visits, pollen viability testing, stigma receptivity assessment, and fruit set measurement to diagnose pollination limitations and optimize management. It is essential for crops dependent on animal pollination and for understanding reproductive success in variable environmental conditions.	Crop load management uses quantitative assessment of fruit number and tree vigor to optimize yields and fruit quality through selective thinning and load balancing. This method combines visual assessment of fruitlet density, calculation of target fruit number based on tree age and vigor, physical or chemical thinning, and yield monitoring to achieve the optimal balance between productivity and fruit size and flavor.
