An assessment of the efficacy of different pollinator species and their effects on yield and seed quality is critical for improving hybrid seed production and ensuring sustainable crop performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pollination efficiency of different pollinator species in hybrid oilseed rape under semi-controlled conditions using isolation cages. Three Hymenoptera species were used for the experiment,the buff-tailed bumblebee (<i>Bombus terrestris</i>), the European orchard bee (<i>Osmia cornuta</i>), and the red mason bee (<i>Osmia bicornis</i>). Their impact on key agronomic traits, including the number of pods per plant (NPP), filled and unfilled seeds per plant (FS and UfS), filled seeds per pod (FSP), seed yield per pod (SYP), total seed yield per plant (TSYP), thousand-seed weight (TSW), test weight (TW), and oil content was evaluated. The results showed that the control without pollinators had significantly lower NPP, FS, FSP, SYP and TSYP, as well as higher proportion of unfilled seeds (UfS%) compared to pollinator treatments. Oil content was significantly lower in the control than in the treatments with <i>O. cornuta </i>and <i>B. terrestris</i>, whereas the difference between the control and the treatment with <i>O. bicornis </i>was not significant. No significant differences were observed among the pollinator treatments for most parameters, indicating that all three pollinator species equally contributed to increasing yield parameters.</p> 2026-09-23T09:31:27Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.32198712.v6 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Dataset_for_manuscript_titled_Pollination_efficiency_and_agronomic_value_of_three_pollinator_species_in_hybrid_oilseed_rape_/32198712 CC BY 4.0
