MONITORAGGIO DEI FENOMENI DI MORTALITA’ E SPOPOLAMENTO IN APIARI SICILIANI E PROVA DI COMPARAZIONE TRA LE DUE SOTTOSPECIE DI Apis mellifera PRESENTI SUL TERRITORIO REGIONALE.

Api e pronubi selvatici nella produzione di Coriandrum sativum L. (Famiglia Apiaceae) in Sicilia occidentale

Coriandrum sativum L. (Apiaceae - Umbelliferae) is an aromatic annual plant, subspontaneous in several Mediterranean countries. It is cultivated in various states of western Asia, North Africa and Europe. In Italy with the increment of immigration the request of coriandrum fresh state (grass cimicina) and powder to seeds are in increase. In Sicilian territory, for estimating the role of pollinators (wild pollinators and bees) in the increment of seeds production of Coriandrum sativum, a triennial surveying has been carried out, comparing three treatments: self-pollination, bees pollination and free pollination. The production of Coriandrum sativum obtained have been in the first year of 132…
