It has been established that pollinating agents are essential for survival and
reproduction of several wild plant species (Kearns et al., 1998) and in the recent
years, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of pollination,
mostly by i nsects, in crop plants (Klein et al., 2007). The major pollinator
dependent crops are fruit and vegetable crops, spices and plantation crops and
pulses and oilseed crops. It has been estimated that the total annual economic
value of crop pollination worldwide is about € 153 billion (Gallai et al., 2009).
Klein et al. (2007) found that 87 of the world’s leading food crops depend upon
animal pollination, representing 35 pe rcent of global food production. The area
covered by pollinator-dependent crops has increased by more than 300 percent
during the past 50 years (Aizen et al. 2008; Aizen and Harder 2009).
Losey and Vaughan (2006) also emphasized that flower-visiting insects provide
an important ecosystem function to global crop production through their
pollination services. The rapid spread of human habitation is affecting the
available natural habitats through urbanization and other land-use practices,
putting pressure on ecosystem services delivered by wild pollinators. At the same
time, the demand for pollination in agricultural production will have to keep pace
to sustain food production.
