Popis: In the US, the cultivated area and production of crops benefit from insect pollination. Mango orchards contain Zebda, Hendi sinara and Ewais varieties and Figryclan, Aranaba cultivars, cultivated together and without Zebda variety. Surveyed insects found 18 species belonging to order Diptera, Coleoptera, ymenoptera, and Neuroptera found during flowering periods. Cultivation of Zebda variety alone tended to decrease the yield/tree. Zebda cultivated mixed with selected varieties and cultivars significantly increased the yield/tree (58.10 and 56.10kg against 38.6, 36.6kg). Cultivation of mango varieties and cultivars in mixed system used application farm yard manure during flowering cycle, increased insect mango pollinators to the maximum, and increased the high mango yields and high good return for the mango growers.
