Abstract

Berry fruit is a thin-skinned one-celled fleshy fruit with seeds scattered through the flesh. The important berries include: Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and cranberries. Most of the berry fruits depend upon or benefit from bee pollination, but pollinators are adversely affected due to insecticides used for controlling pests. It is therefore important to devise a pest management system to provide safety to pollinating insects for quality and quantity of berry production. Several studies have been conducted on the role of pollinating insects and management of insect pests on berry fruit production. Information on some of the important berry fruits is discussed below:
