Abstract
A review has been made on the entitled study “A review on pollinator’s diversity on chili & capsicum” to understand the pollinators diversity associated with chilli and capsicum. The present review observed that the chilli and capsicum flower attract a wide range of insect visitors during their flowering period. Order Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera were found to be the predominant orders of pollinators whereas family Apidae from Hymenoptera and Nymphalidae from Lepidoptera were the dominant one for Chilli. But for capsicum, Order Hymenoptera and Diptera were the major orders. Among the pollinators Apis cerana indica, Apis melifera, Apis dorsata were the major pollinators from order Hymenoptera whereas Nymphalids were major lepidopteran pollinators. Apart from this stray population of Halictids, Vespids, Dipterans and Coleopteran beetles were also found to be associated with these crops.
