Insect pollinators

Pollinators, known as "pronubi" (from the ancient Latin pronŭbus, meaning "one who favors love and marriage"), are insects essential for the fertilization of entomophilous crops.

The first insect that comes to mind is undoubtedly the honeybee (Apis mellifera), primarily kept for honey production. However, wild pollinators such as bumblebees, solitary bees, and hoverflies also play a crucial role, pollinating plant species that honeybees may not visit.

Over the past 15 years, these insects have suffered a significant decline due to the intensive use of pesticides and seed coatings, leading to a notable reduction in their population and effectiveness as pollinators.

By applying the natural fertilizer BioAksxter®, particularly during flowering, farmers can observe a greater attraction of pollinators to treated crops. Even before the flowers bloom, pollinators sense the magnetic charge of the plants and are immediately drawn to forage.

As a result, the increased pollination activity of these insects ensures better crop fertilization, leading to higher yields and improved agricultural productivity.
