An experiment comprising four varieties, viz. C-2016, Hirat, Ragini and Pusa Chickni of smooth gourd and four pollination methods, viz. insect pollinator exclusion (PE), hand pollination (HP), open pollination, (OP), open pollination + hand pollination (OP+HP), was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Plant Pathology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India) during the rainy season, i.e., June to September 2011. The soil of the field was sandy-loam with moderate fertility and pH 8.0. Seven bee species of two families (Apidae and Megachilidae), viz. Apis dorsata Fab., Apis mellifera L., Apis florea Fab., Ceratina sp., Xylocopa pubescence (Spinola), X. fenestrata Fab and Megachile sp., were observed as the insect pollinators on smooth gourd flowers, which contributed in the production of higher number of fruit set and allied yield parameters. Among these, Apis florea, A. mellifera and Ceratina sp. were found the most frequent visitors. The observations were recorded on yield parameters, i.e., percent fruit set, fruit length, fruit diameter and fruit weight. Irrespective of varieties, the significantly higher per cent fruit set (70.21%), fruit length (22.82cm), fruit diameter (3.80cm) and fruit weight (128.81g) were recorded with open pollination + hand pollinated flowers followed by open pollination and hand pollination alone. No fruit set was observed where insect pollinators were excluded from the smooth gourd flowers.
