If the pollen from a plant is collected and dusted on the stigma of another. This type of pollination is called
Artificial pollination
If the pollen from a plant is collected and transferred by deliberately to the stigma of another flower. This type of pollination is called artificial pollination. One advantage of this method is we can cultivate exotic plants from other countries for which pollinators do not exist in our country.
Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species. During self and cross-pollination, the pollen is transferred with the help of pollinating agents such as wind, water, insects, birds, and animals.
