Insect Pollinators (Hardback, Akhilesh Kumar Singh)

The book delivers extensive information about the outlook of insect pollinators, the constraints they face, and strategies for their management. The decline in pollinator populations and diversity is a serious issue that impacts agricultural production, ecosystem conservation, and biodiversity preservation in several regions around the world.

A shortage of pollinators can be indicated by the need for renting pollination services. To address this issue, conservation and augmentation of pollinators are essential to meet the demands for pollination. Pollinators play a crucial role in ensuring food security, diversity of food sources, human nutrition, and plant diversity. Pollination is a vital ecosystem service that supports plant reproduction and food production. In agricultural ecosystems, effective management of pollinators and pollination inputs can enhance crop yields and improve the quality of the produce.
