Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation A large diversity of insects carried oilseed rape pollen and contributed to seed production.
- Observation Pollen beetles Meligethes aeneus did not contribute to oilseed rape seed production.
- Association Oilseed rape seed set significantly increased with the size of the pollinating insect.
- Association Oilseed rape seed set significantly increased with the main daily temperature.
- Association Oilseed rape seed set was not affected by the pollinating insect’s order or genus.
- Observation Seed set, both observed and predicted by the model, was above zero for oilseed rape flowers pollinated with large bees caught more than 1100 m from the nearest OSR field.
- Observation Only 39.4% of the insects caught on male-sterile flowers carried oilseed rape pollen.
