| dc.description | This bulletin introduces the reader to various aspects of natural and insect pollination. Topics in the first part include the pollinators; the ecological and economic importance of pollination; applied pollination in temperate areas, tropical oceanic islands and mainland tropics; and alternatives to artificial pollinator populations. Prospects for the future are also discussed. The second part considers successful pollination with pollinator populations; the evaluation of pollinators; floral bi ology and research techniques; the behaviour of pollinators and plant phenology; and various case-studies on the preparation of pollinators for use in tropical agriculture. A glossary is included, as well as appendixes on cultivated and semi-cultivated plants in the tropics, pollination contracts and levels of safety of pesticides for bees and other pollinators. | |
