Abstract
The study was conducted in the farmer’s mustard field near the campus of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur-5200, Bangladesh from November 2020 to March 2021 to identify the insects involved in pollination of mustard and to know their relative abundance. A total number of 24 pollinator insects belonging to 15 families (Apidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae, Scoliidae, Tenthredinidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Rhiniidae, Syrphidae, Arctiide, Crambidae, Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Plutellidae and Coccinellidae) and 4 orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera) were observed associated with mustard (Brassica rapa) crop on BARI Sarisha-17. Among the orders, the Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera were found as 49.8%, 42.0%, 7.4% and 0.6%, respectively. However, Hymenopterans insects were evident the pre-dominant floral visitors. Indian honey bee, Apis cerana showed the highest abundance (23.2%) followed by Rock bee, Apis dorsata (13.8%), Rhiniid blowfly, Stomorhina sp. (10.5%).
期刊介绍:
The Open Ecology Journal is an open access online journal which embraces the trans-disciplinary nature of ecology, seeking to publish original research articles, reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues representing important scientific progress from all areas of ecology and its linkages to other fields. The journal also focuses on the basic principles of the natural environment and its conservation. Contributions may be based on any taxa, natural or artificial environments, biodiversity, spatial scales, temporal scales, and methods that advance this multi-faceted and dynamic science. The Open Ecology Journal also considers empirical and theoretical studies that promote the construction of a broadly applicable conceptual framework or that present rigorous tests or novel applications of ecological theory.
