However, gaps in knowledge of pollinator community and species-speciic efectiveness to contribute to the overall pollination services impede efective management planning. Many studies argue that not all lower-visiting-species are efective pollinators and some taxonomic guilds efectively pollinate some plant species but not others. We therefore study the efectiveness of diferent pollinator guilds on two annual crops with distinctive lower morphology and selected cucumber Cucumis sativus and carrot Daucus carota as commonly grown crop species in traditional Indonesian housegardens. The efectiveness of ive pollinator taxonomic guilds will be measured by single pollinator visits to virgin lowers and the thereof resulting fruitseed set and fruitseed quality e.g. weight and shape. It is expected to show a diference in the pollination efectiveness of the diferent pollinator guilds for the two crop species. Flies and beetles are expected to be more efective to pollinate carrot while bees are expected to be more efective to pollinate cucumber. This study is of general interest to local farmers, the international research community and policy makers, because of its contribution to ill gaps in the knowledge of species-speciic pollinator efectiveness. The results will contribute to a better understanding of this ecosystem service. Eventually it may contribute to new management possibilities, which could raise the net production of the crops on the one hand and protect the Indonesian biodiversity on the other hand.
