Abstract

In this work the influence of agents was analyzed in the pollination of the gabiroba and in the possible increasing of in fruits production. They were appraised gabiroba plants (Campomanesia spp.) in Senador Canedo and Goiânia-GO. During the flowishing period some plants, or you leave of her, were covered with filó (a kind of tissue), impeding the visit of insects. In Senador Canedo beehives of bees Apis mellifera were placed at proximities of the plants. The frutification was differentiated in the two places of the experiment, ranging from 0,18% to 1,5% in the covered part and of 4,7% to 66,6% in the discovered part, being larger in Senador Canedo. The production of fruits was larger in the discovered plants compared with the covered ones, indicating the importance of the insects in the pollination of the gabiroba.
