How is artificial pollination useful for farmers?
Artificial pollination:- Artificial pollination is the process of applying pollen to the stigma of flower plants that would normally be applied by the humans that pollinate the flower.
There are several benefits to artificial pollination, including gaining greater control over the genetic population of the crops
The pollination process transfers pollen from the male part of a plant, the stamen, to the female part, the carpel. Pollination is a method of sexual reproduction used by plants to produce fruit. Approximately 80 percent of pollination cases require other animals such as insects, bats, and birds to carry pollen from one plant to another.
Benefits of Artificial pollination:
1. The advantage of artificial pollination is that it produces large numbers of fruit and increases size and seed numbers.
2. Artificial pollination also provides high conversion from flowers to export fruits.
3. This type of pollination is fixed and stable because it doesn't depend upon any chance factors. We can also produce a large variety of hybrid plants by the use of artificial pollination
