Abstract
The aim of the paper was to estimate value of insects’ pollination of selected fruit plants and permanent
crops in the Lublin province by using replacement value method, value of production method. The yields
of these plants is extensively dependent on pollination effected by insects. The value of pollination of those
plants was about 950 million PLN (estimated by value of production method) and 1,1 billion PLN (estimated
by replacement value method). The highest values, in using value of production method, were obtained
for sweet cherry orchards (about 40 thousands PLN), sour cherry orchards (about 25 thous. PLN) and
gooseberry (about 20 thous. PLN), and the lowest for strawberries (about 5 thous. PLN) and currants (about
7 thous. PLN). In the case of the replacement value method the highest value of pollination were obtained
for currants (about 25 thous. PLN), strawberries and raspberries (each about 15 thous. PLN), and lowest
for pear orchards (about 7 thous. PLN) and apple orchards (about 8 thous. PLN).
