Effect of Climate Variability on Pollinator Species Diversity and their Pollination Efficacy in Strawberry and Production.
Project summary:
Due to high demand and varied use, strawberry is a promising crop in Bhutan. However, mass production of strawberries has several challenges. Various factors like ineffective pollination, pests and disease problems, climate variability could be discouraging its adoption. Among these factors, pollinators and climate variability are the most important concern. Therefore, a field experiment will be conducted for the identification of pollinator species visiting strawberry and also assess the influence of abiotic factors on pollinator diversity in strawberry and production.
