  • 화분매개는 속씨식물 번식에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 화분매개 곤충은 식물 다양성과 밀접한 관계를 가지며, 농작물 생산성 향상에 기여한다. 사과원 내 식물 다양성은 과수와 주변부, 그리고 하부 식생에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 사과꽃 개화기에 서양민들레 등 초생이 피복된 사과원과 초생이 없는 과수원에서 화분매개자의 다양성과 네트워크, 그리고 결실률과 생산된 과실의 크기 차이를 분석하였다. 경북 안동시 길안면 소재 각 5개의 사과원에서 2020년 4월 사과 개화기에 이루어졌다. 사과와 같은 시기 개화하는 초생은 민들레가 우점이었다. 두 사과원 유형에 따른 꿀벌수는 통계적으로 차이가 없었으나, 전체 풍부도 및 검정파리류와 뒤영벌류의 풍부도는 초생 피복 사과원에서 높았다. 민들레 피복 사과원에서 화분매개자 16 그룹과 801개 상호작용이, 초생 제거 사과원에서는 화분매개자 14개 그룹과 589개 식물-화분매개자 상호작용이 확인되었다. 또한, 초생 피복 사과원의 수확기 사과 크기가 더 컸다. 본 연구의 결과는 서양민들레 등 초생 피복은 봄철 화분매개자의 다양도를 증가시킬 수 있고, 수확기 과수의 크기에 긍적적 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 지속 가능한 사과원 경관관리를 위한 초생재배의 중요성을 확인시켜 주었다.

  • We investigated the pollinators of Centipede's foot orchid (Cleisostoma scolopendrifolium) at five locations in southern Korea. Only one species of megachilid bee (Megachile yasumatsui) was observed at three of the sites (Mokpo, Haenam, and Wando). We assumed that the megachilid bee worked as a sole pollinator of C. scolopendrifolium based on the visiting behavior of the bees the attached pollinia. Fruits were observed at the three locations that bees visited: 74% fruit set at Mokpo, 59% at Wando, and 31% at Haenam. By contrast, at two of the locations where megachilid bees did not visit the plants (Naju and Jindo), there were no fruits set. The differences in fruit set rates at the three orchid populations where bees were observed appear to be related to bee abundance and flower visitation rate rather than to differences in flower abundance. The pollination interaction between C. scolopendrifolium and megachilid bees appears to involve sexual deception since only male bees were attracted to the flowers. The underlying mechanism involved in this interaction needs investigation.

  • Background: Though the biomass of floral vegetation in understory plant communities in a forested ecosystem only accounts for less than 1% of the total biomass of a forest, they contain most of the floral resources of a forest. The diversity of understory honey plants determines visitation rate of pollinators such as honey bee (Apis mellifera) as they provide rich food resources. Since the flower visitation and foraging activity of pollinators lead to the provision of pollination service, it also means the enhancement of plant-pollinator relationship. Therefore, an appropriate management scheme for understory vegetation is essential in order to conserve pollinator population that is decreasing due to habitat destruction and disease infection. This research examined the diversity of understory honey plant and studied how it is related to environmental variables such as (1) canopy density, (2) horizontal heterogeneity of canopy surface height, (3) slope gradient, and (4) distance from roads. Vegetation survey data of 39 plots of mixed forests in Chuncheon, Korea, were used, and possible management practices for understory vegetation were suggested. Results: This study found that 113 species among 141 species of honey plant of the forests were classified as understory vegetation. Also, the understory honey plant diversity is significantly positively correlated with distance from the nearest road and horizontal heterogeneity of canopy surface height and negatively correlated with canopy density. Conclusions: The diversity of understory honey plant vegetation is correlated to vegetation structure and human impact. In order to enhance the diversity of understory honey plant, management of density and height of canopy is necessary. This study suggests that improved diversity of canopy cover through thinning of overstory vegetation can increase the diversity of understory honey plant species.

  • The response of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) pollination on canola yield with reference to most suitable number of bee hive need per unit area of crops in order to meet optimum pollination needs and better economic yields by comparing number of hives and yield components an experiment was conducted at Beekeeping and Hill Fruit Pests Research, Station Rawalpindi during 2017-18 in complete randomized block design with two sets of four treatments for comparison: 1 hive acre-1, 2 hives acre-1, 3 hives acre-1 and 0 hive acre-1. The hives were kept inside the experimental area. Parameters were assessed: pollination density, pollinator's diversity, agronomic and economic yield. In case of pollination density, the cumulative mean abundance bee species revealed that at 1200 hours, Apis mellifera was the most abundant and frequent visitor with a mean population of 8.69 bees/plant followed by A. dorsata (0.72), Syrphid fly (0.2) and other pollinators. Minimum bee population was observed during 1400 hours, mainly due to the closure of flowers and partially due to high temperature (>35℃). Pollinator diversity revealed that A. mellifera was the most dominant pollinator of Brassica crop with highest abundance (71%). A. dosata ranked 2nd (16%) followed by A. florea (6%) respectively.

  • Wild pollinators provide important pollination services for crops. However, their geographical ranges and impact on pollination services have not been fully explored within the scope of Korean agricultural land. This study aims to identify spatial supply-demand mismatches across orchard fields in the context of assessing pollination service risk. We first used National Ecosystem Survey data and a species distribution model (MaxEnt) to develop the geographic range of each of 32 wild pollinators belonging to three families (Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera). We then summed the modeled presence probability of each species to obtain a measure of spatially explicit pollinator richness. This modeled richness, defined as pollination supply, was compared with the summed area of orchard fields at the municipal boundary level to identify areas with supply-demand mismatches. The study found that Lepidoptera showed the highest species richness (8.3±1.5), followed by Hymenoptera (4.3±0.8) and Diptera (3.5±0.8) species. Median orchard area was 1.5 ㎢ (range of 0-176.7 ㎢) among 250 municipal regions in South Korea. The municipal regions were divided into three categories (tertiles) of low, middle, and high pollination supply and demand according to, respectivley, average polliator richness and orhard area. Finally, we found that 55 municipal regions (accounting for 49% of national orchard land) potentially faced high risk of pollination deficits, 81 regions (48% of national orchard land) faced intermediate risk, and 63 regions faced low risk (3% of national orchard land). In conclusion, this study revealed significant mismatch between pollination supply and demand and developed risk assessment map will guide our future efforts on pollinator habitat conservation and monitoring to conserve crop pollination services.

  • 우리나라의 사과 병해충 종합관리는 지난 40여 년간 빠른 진화를 거치며 농작물 중 가장 앞선 시스템으로 발전하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 농약 중심의 병해충 방제는 천적이나 화분매개자들을 통한 생태계 서비스를 저해하고 있다. 사과는 전형적인 타가수분 작물로서, 곤충 화분매개는 생산량과 품질에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이에, 현행 사과 IPM체계에 화분매개자 등 유용생물 활동을 조장할 수 있는 방안을 추가하여 화분매개 친화형 병해충 종합관리(Integrated pollinator-pest management, IPPM)을 제안한다. 해충군 관리는 기본적으로 발생 예찰, 관리 의사결정, 관리방안의 동원 등 기존 체계를 따른다. 그리고 농업생태계 내 기능적 새생물 다양성 확대를 위한 경관 조작, 화분매개자의 먹이와 번식을 지원하는 화분매개서식처의 조성 등의 생태공학적 접근, 선택적이며 저독성 농약의 적기 적소 처리 등을 제안하고 그 실천적 방법을 제시하였다. 기후변화와 새로운 병해충의 출현 등 변화하는 환경에서 지속가능한 농업생산의 중요한 방향타기 되기를 기대한다.
