dc.description.abstractSeveral studies have shown that Ageratum conyzoides (A. conyzoides) is of beneficial to man in terms of medicine and food, however the floral visitors of this species which are anticipated to be potential pollinators were not known in Amani Nature Reserve. This study aimed at determining the floral visitors and potential pollinators of the species. The individuals observed to probe the flowers were considered potential pollinators, field observation to the flowers at specified time interval was used to determine the floral visitors and time spent. There was no difference between the floral visitors and individual probed and relationship between the visitation and probing with time spent were positive related. This concluded that, the majority of the visitors to A. conyzoides were potential pollinators, and rewards like nectar and pollen attracted them. In this case, conservation of the nature reserve is essential with consideration of the pollinators as essential components for the reproductive success of A. conyzoides.en_US
