Closing the Pollination Gap in Cacao Agroforests: Balancing Pesticide Use and Shade Management

This dataset accompanies the manuscript “Closing the Pollination Gap in Cacao Agroforests: Balancing Pesticide Use and Shade Management”, submitted to Agroforestry Systems. It includes all tree-, plot-, and farm-level variables used to evaluate the effects of pesticide application (insecticide and fungicide) and breeding substrate addition on cacao pollination. The dataset contains treatment assignments, genotypes, flower counts for natural and hand pollination across two sampling weeks, pollination success, pollination deficit, ground cover metrics, total and associated shade measurements, and precipitation.Additional files document the few cases in which nearby trees were used when focal trees lacked flowers, as well as the full R script used for data processing, statistical analyses, and model diagnostics.

本数据集配套提交至《农林业系统》（Agroforestry Systems）的手稿《填补可可农林系统的授粉缺口：平衡农药使用与遮荫管理》。数据集包含用于评估农药施用（杀虫剂与杀菌剂）以及繁育基质添加对可可授粉影响的所有树木、样地及农场尺度变量，涵盖处理分组、基因型、两周采样周期内自然授粉与人工授粉的花朵数量、授粉成功率、授粉赤字、地表覆盖指标、总遮荫量及关联遮荫测量值，以及降水量数据。附加文件记录了当目标植株无花时使用邻近植株替代的少量案例，以及用于数据处理、统计分析与模型诊断的完整R脚本。
