Foraging Behaviour of Honey Bee on Niger: Status, Potential & Prospect

Nowadays, agriculture production in sustainable manner is a big challenge in-front of the scientific community of the worlds. The changing climate in addition to biotic influences cause huge damage to agro-ecosystem. In context of agricultural economy of India, oilseeds are important next to food grains in terms of area, production and economic value. The diverse agro-ecological conditions of country facilitate suitable growing environment to various oilseeds crops. Among the edible oilseed, the niger is important crop cultivated in India. The impact of honey bee foraging in yield attributes, oil quality and quantity of niger is detrimental and needs to be explore in scientific manner to boost up the production and productivity with eco-friendly approach. This books serve baseline data, views, ideas, estimates for agricultural production, protection, management and conservation of resources under tropical conditions. It is helpful to the students, scholars, researcher, scientist, entomologist, academicians, government organizations, etc. to understand the key impact of honey bee on niger crop in tropics and subsequent implementation, utilization and management.
