| Experiment Title | Study of pollinators diversity in mango under Middle and South Gujarat condition | ||
| Research Type | AICRP Trials | ||
| Experiment Background | This trial is formulated as a part of a multilocation trial under the India-Australia Council. Mango (Mangifera indica) is an important fruit crop in South Gujarat. Mango also depends on insect pollination, mango flowers are pollinated by various insects such as honey bees, stingless bees, ants, wasps, flies, butterflies, beetles etc. Sung et al. (2006) reported that Apis spp. and flies (Musca domestica and Chrysomya megacephala) were responsible for successful pollination in Taiwan. The pollinators’ diversity can enhance the pollination in mango trees. Different region has diverse kinds of insect pollinators, and their activity is also influenced by the presence of other floral resources surrounding mango orchard. The flowering period in mango may vary in different regions of the state, hence the activity of insect pollinators may also vary in different kinds of environmental conditions. Therefore there is a need to study the floral visitors of mango at the time of mango flowering. Paralleled with the emerging need for multiyear and multisite comparisons of risk assessment in conservation and sustainable agriculture, measuring pollinator performance has become increasingly important (Ne’eman et al., 2010 and Benjamin and Winfreee, 2014). | ||
