Journal: JURNAL BIOLOKUS
Year: 2025

The flowers of &lt;em&gt;Ananas comosus&lt;/em&gt;, pineapple, are generally self-sterile which means seeds will only develop if cross-pollination occurs. Therefore, insect pollinators play a crucial role in fostering and preserving genetic diversity in pineapple plants. Our research aimed as a preliminary study to gain insight into the key pollinators that play a significant role in the pollination of &lt;em&gt;A. comosus&lt;/em&gt; in Tangkit Baru village, a prominent pineapple cultivation hub
