Emasculation refers to the process of removing the anthers from a flower. It's done before dehiscence to keep undesirable pollen out of the stigma and to ensure cross-pollination by preferred pollens.

- In artificial hybridisation programmes, emasculation is a technique that is used.
- Emasculation is the process of removing anthers from a flower bud with forceps before it dehisces.
