Abstract
Pollinators have a key ecological role in supporting the majority of
the world's plant diversity, as well as a sizeable portion of global
agriculture, by facilitating plant reproduction. Therefore, pollinators
are essential to maintaining both human food security and natural ecosystems,
which is a unique position for such a varied group of living things. The
investigation conducted in 2022–2024 found that several insect pollinators were
found in various crops. It was discovered that pollinators were positively
correlated with temperature and negatively correlated with rainfall and
relative humidity. During the present investigations major pollinating insects
of fruit crops belonging to different order were reported which includes (Hymenoptera)
Apies cerana indica Melipona, (Hymenoptera) Coccinella septumpunctata,
(Coleoptera) Epuraea aestiva, (coleoptera) Nitiduild beetle, (Diptera)
flies and midges, (hawk moth) Macroglossum stellatarum, (Lepidoptera) moths
and butterflies, (Thysanoptera) thrips etc.
