PURPOSE: To provide a gate apparatus attached to a nest box of a flower-visiting insect and having a nest-outlet path and a nest-inlet path separated from each other to allow the insect to transport a drug or pollen for the crossing of a self-incompatible plant and free from phytotoxicity caused by the drug and to provide a method for allowing an insect to transport a drug or pollen. ;CONSTITUTION: The inside of a gate apparatus 1 is separated into a nest-outlet path 3 and a nest-inlet path 4 with a partition plate 2 perpendicular to a platform 9. A side wall 10 is perpendicularly bent toward the platform 9 and an end outlet port 6 of the nest outlet path 3 is formed between the partition plate 2 and the side wall 10. The outlet port 6 is positioned inside of the inlet port 8 of the nest inlet path 4. The box is covered with a removable lid 12 and an escape-prevention net 13 is attached to the reverse side of the lid 12. A lighting hole 14 is formed at an end of the side wall 11 near the end outlet port 6 of the nest-outlet path 3 and a drug-application sheet 11 is pasted on the bottom face and the inner wall face of the nest-outlet path 3. A drug or pollen is applied to the drug-application sheet 11 to apply the drug or pollen to an insect leaving the box through the nest-outlet path and allow the insect to transport the drug, etc.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO&Japio
