The incentive for the expansion of cultivation of oil palm aims to increase domestic production of biodiesel and special oils for the food industries, cosmetics and steel, to reduce imports and meet the demands, attempt to solve problems of agricultural production, as improved domestic plants and seeds. The launch of the interspecific hybrid EMBRAPA, adapted to the North, was a milestone for the national oil palm. However, problems with poor pollination of their flowers prompted studies to improve knowledge about the visitor entomofauna of inflorescences and its role in the production of almonds and productivity of oil palm, of semiochemicals emanating from the flowers and their role in attracting pollinators. The formation of fruit with seeds in naturally pollinated HIE is extremely low. Showing indirectly flaws in the process of assisted pollination. Tenera plants released higher amounts of estragole which attract a greater number of weevils of the genus Elaeidobius. About the caiaué flowers, native to the Amazon, found species of weevils, possible potential pollinators.
