Abstract: Baldrias, Jovi de Roxas. "INSECT POLLINATION OF RAMBUTAN", B.S. Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Crop Protection, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. Thesis Adviser: Dr. Evelyn O. Singson The experiment was conducted at the rambutan plantation of the Cavite State University (CvSU) and Oriental Mindoro Agricultural Experiment Station, (ORMAES), Alcate Victoria, Oriental Mindoro from April 1998 to October 1998. The study aimed to determine the impact of insect pollinator on rambutan. At the Cavite State University, the major pollinators of rambutan were Trigona sp. and A. cerana. Trigona sp. was the most abundant pollinator species while Bombus sp. was the only abundant insect pollinator in Mindoro. The fruit and seed set of rambutan were compared in open pollination (unlimited number of bee pollinators), close pollination (no pollination) and with insect pollinators (limited to 25 bee pollinators). The result showed that the higher percentage fruit set of rambutan was observed in open pollination because of the unlimited number of different bee pollinators that can freely visit the rambutan flowers. In Mindoro, Bombus pollinators assist in enhancing the fruit of rambutan by having heavier and uniform weights. However, the flowers which were not adequately pollinated did not produce heavy fruits. This implies that the more Bombus sp. pollinators the greater the fruit weight of rambutan.
