Comparison of common green bottle flies (Lucilia sericata Meigen) and stingless bees (Tetragonula laeviceps Smith) as pollinating agents for imported true shallot (Allium cepa L.) seed production
Importance of the work: The pollination process for true shallot seeds (TSSs) is usually conducted based on high-cost hand pollination that could be replaced by insects. Objectives: To investigate two insect species as possible replacements to hand pollination for TSS production. Materials & Met...
