Summary
This paper presents data related to the role of pollen of Prunoideae/Maloideae orchards in the widely cultivated territory of Vignola in 1990. The daily aeropalynological patterns from a spore-trap during the fruit tree flowering season are presented together with yearly pollen spectra from the spore trap and from orchard sites. There are significant differences in the spectra, with increasing values from the spore trap site to orchards. This suggests a correspondingly higher atmospheric pollen concentration in the orchard.
