Impact of Agrochemical Use on Honeybee Health and Pollination Efficiency in Rohilkhand Region

Author(s) Shaily Rani, Dr. Ram Kumar
Country India
Abstract This study investigates the impact of agrochemical use on honeybee health and pollination efficiency in the Rohilkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, a critical agricultural zone in northern India. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates field-level ecological assessments, chemical residue analysis, and farmer surveys across five districts—Bareilly, Pilibhit, Rampur, Shahjahanpur, and Badaun. Findings reveal that increased pesticide use, particularly neonicotinoids and organophosphates, correlates with a significant rise in honeybee mortality and a marked decline in pollination efficiency, measured through fruit set, seed count, and yield metrics in crops like mustard. Nectar samples showed pesticide residues often exceeding safe thresholds, and unbagged (bee-access) crops outperformed bagged treatments, confirming pollinator contribution. Furthermore, most farmers lacked awareness of pollinator-friendly practices, with many applying pesticides during peak flowering periods. The study emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable pesticide management, enhanced farmer education, and policy interventions to safeguard pollinators and ensure ecological and agricultural resilience in the region.
Keywords Honeybee health, Pollination efficiency, Agrochemical impact, Pesticide residues, Rohilkhand, Sustainable agriculture, Neonicotinoids, Pollinator conservation, Mustard yield, Farmer awareness.
