Emasculation and bagging were the techniques used by Mendel to perform hybridization.
If the female flower is bisexual, removal of anthers from the flower bud before the anther dehiscence using a pair of forceps. This is called emasculation.
Emasculated flowers have to be covered with a bag of suitable size made of butter paper to prevent contamination of its stigma with unwanted pollen and this process is termed as bagging.
