Investigation has been made on diversity of different pollinating agents associated with sunflower by observing their abundance, diversity, percentage contribution following the statistical diversity indices. The present study revealed eighteen different pollinators associated with sunflower. The Indian honey bee, Apis cerana indica (F)was recorded as the most dominant hymenopteran pollinator followed by the rock bee Apis dorsata(F)from family Apidae. The foraging activity of A. c. indica was observed to be maximum during midflowering stage (1.72± 1.23 and 2.78± 1.81 bees/ capitulum/ min in 1st and 2nd season, respectively) withhighest activity during 01:00-02:00 PM (3.02 bees/ capitulum/min.) and 10:00 to 11:00 AM (4.42 bees/capitulum/ min) during first and second seasons respectively. The Apidae family members’ i.e. A. c. indica and A. dorsata have attained eudominant and other pollinators were belonging mostly to the recedentand subrecedent classes based on dominance status.

The sex-limited character of cocoon color is useful for the separation of male and female pupae during commercial seed production. Fecundity is the major limitation of cocoon colour sex-limited breeds. Spermidine is a polyamine, present in all living cells involved in the growth and reproduction of many organisms. The effect of spermidine on testicular and ovarian development in the selected bivoltine sex-limited breed; APS27SL and non-sex-limited hybrid; APS45 x APS12 is studied in the present work. Results showed that foliar feeding of spermidine significantly increased pupal growth, testicular and ovarian growth, number of ovarioles and ovules in the sex-limited breed. Moreover, increased expression of Bm-tektin was observed in the testes of spermidine fed groups. Thus, the study suggests that foliar feeding of spermidine can be used to overcome the limitation of reproductive potential in sex-limited breeds.","PeriodicalId":13463,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of entomology","volume":"27 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140498543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method used is purposive sampling method. Selecting plots with uniform growth and plant height of shallots in one plot or beds measuring 3 x 20 m and six plots were observed using three methods: direct sampling, swing nets, and pitfall traps.
