Agricultural performance is a combination of many factors. One of these is effective pollination, which often seems natural and is not paid much attention to by farmers. However, numerous studies have shown that proper pollination can mean an average yield increase of 10-15%.

Pollination provided by insects not only improves fruit set, but in many cases also improves the shelf life, taste, size or even shape of the crop.

In addition to all this, it can be stated that modern agriculture is the area that makes the living conditions of pollinators the most difficult. The most important factors are habitat destruction, pesticide use, and food shortages resulting from monoculture. 

My activity aims to help farmers to have a pollination support action plan tailored to the given crop, taking into account environmental and technological characteristics. The advice covers the selection, installation and management of available, cultivated pollinator species, as well as, if possible, the support of a sufficiently diverse, resilient pollinator community in the long term, and suggestions for agrotechnical and pesticide use.
