چکیده
|
The study investigates the pollination biology of chromolaena odorata an exotic species of india,and also its importance as forage source for insects especially butterflies. the plant possesses floral characteristics typifying psychophily. it is an important nectar source for insects and attracts butterflies,hawk moths,bees,wasps,flies and other insects,which act as facultative pollinators while collecting the forage. among the butterflies,nymphalids play a prime role in the pollination. seed set rate is very high in each head inflorescence in open pollination. seed dispersal is by both anemochorous and zoochorous modes but former is the principal one.
