Answer 1

this technique is an important part of plant breeding as it ensures that pollen grains of only desirable plant are used for fertilisation of the stigma to develop the desired plant variety

Answer 2

Hello there,

Bagging technique is a way to prevent unwanted self pollination.

First of all the flowers are emasculated , after that they are covered with bag (Bagging technique).

When stigma matures the bags are removed.

The technique is used for artificial hybridization.

Useful to prevent self pollination.

Thanks!
