A
pollination control system and effective transfer of pollen
from one parent to the other
offers improved plant breeding and an effective method for
producing hybrid seeds. The
adoption of pollination control
system by plant breeder will lead to
the production of hybrid spp/ verities
that one tolerant / resistant to abiotic
stress factors, multiple rests, disease and insects
which cause severe yield losses
in agricultural production. (chopra,
2003) stated that breeding for tolerance
to various biotic stresses not only
ensure stable production but also
safe
guards the environment and health. such as;
i.
Hybrid for abiotic stress
tolerance. By breeding me seek to develop genotypes that combine superiority
in yield with tolerance to various kinds of stresses eg high or low temperature, salinity, acidity, lack of nutrients and atmospheric and soil pollutants, are the
kinds of abiotic stresses inhibiting
crop growth.
ii.
Hybrids of high quality and quantity yield, tolerance to diseases, pests, insects,
virus, bacteria and pathogen may be achieved through the use of pollination control systems.
