Insect-mediated pollination is crucial for global production of multiple pollinator-dependent crops, including high-value crops like sweet and sour cherry. In the face of increasing agricultural demand and continued pollinator decline, it is essential to identify targeted management strategies to safeguard pollination services. Hence, we performed a systematic review on how cherry pollination is influenced by intrinsic and environmental requirements, flower-visiting insect communities, surrounding landscape and on-farm management practices. We found that most research was conducted in sweet cherry compared to sour cherry, and originated from North America and Europe, disregarding key global production areas. Cherry cultivars can be either self-compatible or self-incompatible, but insect pollination consistently benefits fruit set. Temperature has a strong effect on pollination success by mediating pollen germination, pollen tube growth and ovule longevity. Insect-mediated pollination is essential for adequate fruit set of both crops, whereas pollen limitation was detected for sweet, but not for sour cherry. A great diversity of insects visits cherry blossoms, with 185 species recorded, of which 142 were bees and 36 flies. With a mean relative abundance of 57 % across studies, honeybees were the dominant flower visitor. Little is known about the pollination performance of different taxa, with only one study comparing bees’ single-visit efficiency, suggesting that mason bees an...
