Advantages And Disadvantages of Cross Pollination: <\/b>Cross pollination is the act of exchanging genetic material between organisms of different species. The term is often used in agriculture, and refers to the transfer of pollen from one plant to another plant of a different variety or species. In horticultural terms, cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to a female part of another flower. Pollen is extremely light and can travel on the wind, so it’s very common for different plants to cross pollinate.<\/p>\n

One way we can promote cross pollination is by planting different types of flowers in close proximity. Bees are very important pollinators because they can fly from flower to flower. Choose flowers that have different blooming periods so that the bees will have continuous access to a varied supply of nectar and pollen.<\/p>\n Cross pollination is important because it helps to keep the genetic diversity of our food crops.
