Describe and diagram a way in which a plant can prevent unwanted pollinators. Thanks!

Solution

Most gardeners and farmers like to experiment with new varieties, and rarely grow only one type of corn, tomato or brassica. If you want to save seeds, however, you should know how to make sure one variety doesn’t cross-pollinate another variety. If this should occur, you will likely have a hybrid plant when you grow out the seeds.

Save Some Seeds For Next Season: Even if pollen from a different plant fertilizes the flowers, its fruit or pods will have the same growth habits and taste as the variety you planted. But the following year, your saved seeds could produce plants that are very different. This is because the fruit from the ones you planted have the same genetic material as the plant itself.

Bring new pleasures and superior plants to your garden: To prevent unwanted cross-pollination of those crops that do cross readily, you can either keep blossoming plants at recommended safe distances from each other (isolation in space) or plan your plantings so the different crops don\'t bloom concurrently (isolation in time). You could, for example, keep seed from both an early and a late corn, because the two plantings would tassel at different times. A third way to control pollination is to cage blossoming flowers in fine wire or netting to keep out unwanted influences. (You\'d need to do the pollinating yourself or put a piece of maggot-infested meat inside to produce flies for pollinating.) An often easier alternative is to bag and hand-pollinate individual flowers.
