A field experiment was conducted at the Research farm of Department of Entomology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU) Hisar, Haryana to determine the diversity and abundance of insect pollinators on two varieties of sesame HT-1 and HT-2 during 2017 and 2018. A total of 34 insect species belonging to 18 families from four orders were observed. Of these Apis dorsata (4.76 bees/ m²/ 5 min; 26.92% of total flower visitors) followed by A. mellifera (2.34 bees/ m²/ 5 min), M. lanata (2.23 bees/ m²/ 5 min) and A. florea (1.32 bees/ m²/ 5 min) were predominant. Peak activity of the insect visitors was observed at 1000-1200 hr of the day.Keywords

The collected amount of nectar and pollen by the insect pollinators mainly depends upon the time spent on individual flowers referred to as the foraging speed. An experiment conducted at Department of Entomology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana evaluated the foraging speed of different insect pollinators on flowers of castor Ricinus communis cv. GCH-7 and DCH-177. Apis cerana F. was observed with maximum foraging speed (6.26 sec/ flower) followed by Apis mellifera L. (5.12 sec/ flower), Apis dorsata F. (4.20 sec/ flower), Apis florea F. (3.74 sec/ flower). The least foraging speed was observed with Xylocopa iridipennis Lepeletier (2.67 sec/ flower). Data taken at different time interval in a day indicated that the peak foraging speed of pollinators is between 10.00- 12.00 hr, while the least one was at 16.00-18.00 hr.Keywords
