Flower visitor, pod productivity and pod quality data from Moringa plantations with floral interventions and control

How to cite this Dataset

Description

These data include information on flower visitor abundance and species richness (30 different species of bees, flies, butterflies and moths were recorded on the whole), pod productivity (percentage of flowers that set fruit) and pod quality (length, diameter, seed number and weight) of moringa grown under different pollination treatments including pollinator exclusion (no visitation by insects), open pollination (visitation by insects) and supplementary pollination (hand pollinated) in plantations that are used as control, and in plantations with inter and border-cropping as floral interventions. Data were collected for Translating Research Opportunities to enhance Pollination benefits to economically Important Crops And improve Livelihoods (TROPICAL) project.
