The economic insurance value of wild pollinators in almond orchards in California
September 2, 2016 Biodiversity can provide an economic insurance value against the uncertain provision of ecosystem services for risk-averse economic agents. For uncertain pollination services, we determine the risk premium and the economic insurance value of wild pollinators in almond orchards for a risk-averse farmer. For this, we describe pollination services as a distribution, which can be ...
متن کاملCompatibility of an organically based insect control program with honey bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) pollination in cantaloupes.
The application of azadirachtin to foliage of cantaloupes did not significantly reduce successful pollination by commercially managed honey bees, Apis mellifera L., as measured by numbers of foraging honey bees and yield. Similar results were obtained when the synthetic insecticide imidacloprid (used as a standard by cantaloupe growers) was applied to the soil. Fruit yield and quality, as a fun...
متن کاملApis mellifera pollination improves agronomic productivity of anemophilous castor bean (Ricinus communis).
Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is cultivated mainly for biodiesel production because of its oil-rich seeds; it is assumed to be an anemophylous species. But pollination deficit can lead to low productivity often attributed to other reasons. In this paper, we investigated pollination requirements, pollination mechanism, occurrence of pollination deficit, and the role of biotic pollinators in ...
متن کاملPollination of tomatoes by the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata and the honey bee Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera, Apidae).
The pollination effectiveness of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata and the honey bee Apis mellifera was tested in tomato plots. The experiment was conducted in four greenhouses as well as in an external open plot in Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil. The tomato plants were exposed to visits by M. quadrifasciata in one greenhouse and to A. mellifera in another; two greenhouses were maintained w...
متن کاملA real-time PCR method for quantification of the total and major variant strains of the deformed wing virus
European honey bees (Apis mellifera) are critically important to global food production by virtue of their pollination services but are severely threatened by deformed wing virus (DWV) especially in the presence of the external parasite Varroa destructor. DWV exists as many viral strains with the two major variants (DWV-A and DWV-B) varying in virulence. A single plasmid standard was constructe...
