Metadata for "Data on the interactive effects of insect pollination, weed removal and fungicide application on bumble bee foraging behaviour and faba bean yield", https://doi.org/10.5878/z69q-bf06 For further information, see methods in the publication Raderschall et al. 2024. Insect pollination enhances faba bean yield more than weed removal or fungicide application", https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2024.109159 File information: Open faba bean flowers were sampled in 10 experimental plants in both subplots of all cages in 2021. In addition, on some days, occurrence of plant pathogens was also sampled. All treatments are included: with and without insect pollination, and with and without weeds, and with and without fungicide application as subplots. File "FlowerAbundanceData.csv" 8 Variables and notes: Date, BlockID, JulianDay CageID, FungicideTreatment, PlantID, OpenFlowers, FungalInfection, Notes 2521 Data rows Percentage of leaf area covered with chocolate spot disease or bean rust on 3 randomely selected plants in both subplots of all cages. Data was sampled at crop maturity. File "PathogenData.csv" 5 Variables and notes: CageID, FungicideTreatment, PlantID, chocSpot_procent, Rust_procent, Notes 201 Data rows Bumble bee visitation rate and foraging behaviour (nectar robbing versus legitimate pollination versus extra floral nectary visits (EFN)) during faba bean bloom. We observed 10 experimental plants per subplot (Fungicide treatment) during 7 mins on several consecutive days. Only done in cages with bumble bees (14 out of 28).
