Hymenoptera Family Diversity and Abundance in Kumhari Village's Leafy Vegetable Crop, Drug

Abstract

Put Your Order in The Hymenoptera class of insects is important because it contains species that are good for the environment, economy, and agriculture. They also act as indicators of the environment. Hymenopteran parasitoids have the potential to act as bio-control agents in farming environments. Bumblebees, honey bees, and ants are among the efficient pollinators. Studying the diversity and distribution of organisms is necessary for biodiversity conservation. In Kumhari village, Durg District, Chhattisgarh, the biological diversity of hymenopteran families in green cultivars was examined in the current study. The study was conducted between January 2022 to December 2022. The study discovered that the area was home to fifteen species and four groups of Hymenoptera. A total of 303 insects were sampled throughout the inquiry. The Formicidae family was the most common in the study area. It was also found that Vespidae, Apidae, and Tenthredinidae were dominant in the green vegetable fields. The ideal light intensity, humidity, and temperature were present during the hymenopteran insect's life cycle from September to march, as indicated by the results, which also showed that evenness and the Shannon index were much elevated. Summer, the first half of the year, was characterized by comparatively low population and variety.
