“…Chaudhary and Singh (2006) reported 34 species of flower visiting species on coriander with 18 families and 8 orders; these observed that the dipterans were more active than hymenopterans. Bhowmik et al (2017) reported that Apis spp. (66%) as the more abundant followed by dipterans (29%) and coleopterans (5%).…”

This study on pollinator diversity and abundance of frequent floral visitors was conducted during on coriander during rabi 2019-20 in Lalapuram village of Kallikudi block, Madurai district. Coriander flowers were observed to be visited by 25 pollinators. Among the visitors, four species were hymenopterans belonging to Apis (16%) and six from Non- Apis spp. (24%) Four belonged to Lepidoptera and Diptera (16%), three from Hemiptera and Coleoptera (12%) and one from Araneae (4%). Among all these, Apis florea was the most dominant one among Apis spp. followed by Apis cerana indica and Tetragonula iridipennis. The foraging activity and Shannon- Weiner’s diversity index (2.78) was observed to be maximum during 1000- 1200 hrs.

“…EAG responses were recorded from adults (laboratory reared, 2 days old) of A. foveicollis, as described earlier [33,40]. We used 80 insects (40 males and 40 females) for the entire experiment, using one antenna at a time for 35 min for~12 compounds (a time span of 80 s was given in between each stimulus).…”

The volatiles extracted by the dynamic headspace collection system from the undamaged and conspecific damaged Cucurbita maxima were analyzed by Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The olfactory responses of antennal chemosensilla by male and female A. foveicollis towards the plant volatiles were studied by electroantennography (EAG), while the behavioral responses were analyzed by olfactometer bioassay under laboratory conditions. Scanning electron microscopic study revealed the predominance of antennal olfactory sensilla of seven different types with four types of mechanosensilla. The antennae are sexually dimorphic, with differences in density of the chemosensillae present in the apical band region of segment IX, called the circumferential band, being higher in the females. Female antennae showed maximum peak amplitudes for 2-methyl phenol (at 10 mg/mL), followed by 1,4, dimethoxybenzene (at 5 mg/mL), while male antennae showed maximum amplitudes for heneicosane (at 5 mg/mL). Y-tube bioassays revealed maximum attractiveness towards 1,4, dimethoxy benzene that decreased progressively across heneicosane, pentacosane, tetradecane, ethyl benzene, D-limonene, nonadecane, eicosane, nonanal, decanal, α-pinene, phytol and benzaldehyde in females. However, male species were more responsive towards heneicosane, followed by 1,4 dimethoxybenzene, while the responses to pentacosane and tetradecane were equal, followed by equal responses to decanal, ethyl benzene and nonadecane, and thereafter, a progressively reducing response was observed towards α-pinene, eicosane, nonanal, D-limonene, phytol and benzaldehyde. The study assists in understanding the role of olfaction by A. foveicollis in the host plant Cucurbita maxima by listing compounds that act as potential kairomones for the beetle, and can be expected to facilitate development of an eco–friendly trap and/or by attracting the natural enemies for control of the pest.

“…Among hoverflies, species of the Eristalinae subfamily (Diptera: Syrphidae, subfamily Eristalinae) are frequent visitors of Apiaceae crops including anise (El-Berry et al ., 1974), carrot (Bohart and Nye, 1960; Spurr, 2003; Pérez-Bañón et al ., 2007; Gaffney et al ., 2011, 2018; Hogendoorn and Keller, 2011), coriander (Ambrosino et al ., 2006; Bendifallah et al ., 2013; Sharma et al ., 2016; Shivashankara et al ., 2016; Bhowmik et al ., 2017; Usman et al ., 2018; Wojciechowicz-Zytko, 2019), eryngo (Babaei et al ., 2018), fennel (Sihag, 1986; Chaudhary, 2006; Gama et al ., 2013; Bharti et al ., 2015; Ahmad et al ., 2019; Skaldina, 2020) and parsnip (Jogesh et al ., 2013). In addition, the potential of eristaline hoverflies for pollination of several vegetable seed crops, both in open field and protected environments, has already been studied (Jarlan et al ., 1997; Rader et al ., 2020).…”

Hybrid seed production often relies on managed pollinators whose use in isolation cages can pose challenges. Here, we evaluated the pollination ability of the novel managed pollinator Eristalinus aeneus (Diptera: Syrphidae) in hybrid celery and fennel seed crops. During trials performed in 2019–2020 in Cordoba, Spain, we compared seed production with hoverflies released at high and low densities (40–20 ind./m2), and without released pollinators. In celery, we included a treatment with Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae), a blowfly used for seed production (375 ind./m2). The production of celery seeds when E. aeneus were released at high density was significantly higher (+49%) than without released pollinators, for both sterile and fertile plant genotypes; no significant differences were found between the two hoverfly densities and the blowfly treatments. In fennel, seed yield of fertile plants with high density of hoverflies was higher than with low density (+149%), or without released pollinators (+168%); whereas for sterile plants no differences were found between treatments. In both crops and plant genotypes, the highest pollen adhesion to stigmas (number of pollen grains and proportion of flowers with pollen adhered in two stigmas) was obtained with hoverflies at high density. In celery, pollen adhesion was higher with high density of hoverflies than with blowflies for both plant genotypes, despite the considerably lower numbers of released hoverflies. Our results suggest that E. aeneus is a more efficient pollinator of celery than L. sericata, and that it has the potential to effectively pollinate other hybrid Apiaceae seed crops like fennel.
