Does anyone do research with insects on Castanea sativa?

01 January 2015 1 8K Report

I would like to know some information about species diversity of insects on Castanea sativa or C. crenata, C. dentata. It should be mainly beneficial species which eat or collect pollen during blooming period or rare species.

I will be grateful for any information about this issue.

Hello Michal

Most works deal with pests on Castanea (like "Insects Feeding on The Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) in Bulgaria"), but there are some studies on pollinators

you can look for: de Oliveira D, Gomes A, Ilharco FA, Manteigas AM, Pinto J, Ramalho J. 2001. Importance of insect pollinators for the production in the chestnut, Castanea sativa. Acta Horticulturae 561: 269–273
