abstract
The pollination biology of Santalum album was carried out in five different flowering seasons during the period between 2014 and 2016. The study identified and confirmed that Santalum album is predominantly a cross pollinating species and the pollination was facilitated by Monomorium destructor, Camponotus sp. and Apis cerana indica. This study clearly conclude that the identification of pollinators and pollination biology is very important for obtaining good quality seed productions.
