Abstract

Bal arıları, acı kabak çiçeklerinin mahsul tozlaşmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Acı kabakta (Momordica charantia L.) Hint arısının (A. cerana indica) yiyecek arama aktivitesini ve tozlaşma etkinliğini gözlemlemek için Coimbatore Bölgesinde bir deney yapılmıştır. Erkek ve dişi acı kabak çiçeğinde yiyecek arama aktivitesi ve toplayıcı/çiçek/dk sayısı kaydedilmiştir. Acı kabak meyve tutumu ve verimi, tozlayıcı dışlama, arı tozlaşması ve açık tozlaşma olmak üzere üç koşul altında değerlendirilmiştir. Hint arılarının erkek çiçek (0.88 arı) ve (6.52 sn) dişi çiçekten (0.57 arı) daha yüksek olduğu kaydedilmiştir. (3.61 sn) sırasıyla. A. cerana indica'nın pik arama aktivitesi, 1.2 toplayıcı / 5 dakika ile 08:00-10:00 saatleri arasında fark edildi. Hint arısının tozlaşma verimlilik indeksi 747035,5 olmuştur. Kovan girişinde yiyecek arama faaliyeti en fazla 08:00-10:00 saatleri arasında olmuştur. A. cerana indica'nın koloni büyüme parametresi kapalı bal alanına göre %67.85, ergin popülasyona göre ise %15.07 artmıştır. Tozlaşma çalışmalarının sonuçları, idareli arı ile tozlanan parsellerde meyve/bitki sayısı (17,4 meyve) ve hektar başına meyve veriminin (41,13 t/ha), açık tozlaşma koşuluna (16,2 meyve) ve (37,25 t/ha) göre daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir ve tozlaşma dahil edilmedğinde hiçbir meyve tutumu kaydedilmemiştir.

Abstract

Honey bees play an important role in crop pollination of bitter gourd flowers. An experiment was conducted at Coimbatore District to observe the foraging activity and pollination efficiency of Indian bee (A. cerana indica) in Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.). The foraging activity and number of foragers/ flower/ min was recorded in male and female bitter gourd flower. Bitter gourd fruit set and yield was assessed under three conditions pollinator exclusion, bee pollination and open pollination. No. of foragers/ flower/ minute (abundance of pollinators) and floral handling time in seconds (foraging rate) of Indian bees recorded on male flower (0.88 bees) and (6.52 sec) was higher than in female flower (0.57 bees) and (3.61 sec) respectively. The peak foraging activity of A. cerana indica noticed between 08:00-10:00 hours with 1.2 foragers/ 5 mins. Pollination efficiency index of Indian bee was 747035.5. Foraging activity at the hive entrance was maximum at 08:00 to 10:00 hours. Colony growth parameter of A. cerana indica was increased 67.85% in respect of the sealed honey area and 15.07% in respect of the adult population. The results of pollination studies show, the number of fruits/plant (17.4 fruits) and fruit yield per hectare (41.13 t/ha) was higher in managed bee pollinated plot than to open pollination condition (16.2 fruits) and (37.25 t/ha) and no fruit set was recorded in pollination exclusion condition.
