Factors Affecting Pollination and Pollinators in Oil Palm Plantations: A Review with an Emphasis on the Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Pollination is crucial for oil palm yield, and its efficiency is influenced by multiple factors, including the effectiveness of weevils as pollinators in Southeast Asia. Weevils transfer pollen between male and female flowers, leading to successful fertilization and fruit development, which contributes to higher oil palm yields and increased production of valuable oil. Understanding and conserving the weevil population is important for sustainable oil palm cultivation practices.
