Hand Pollination of Tomato for Breeding and Seed Production
EDIS, 2014 Hand pollination is a technique that is used for breeding new tomato varieties with desirable characteristics such as plant vigor, disease resistance, and uniform fruit quality and plant growth; since tomatoes have complete flowers and are self-pollinated, it usually is unnecessary to hand pollinate the flowers for fruit production.

Implementation evaluation of cocoa hand pollination program in Ghana
Pelita Perkebunan (a Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal)The study examines the Cocoa Hand Pollination Program (CHPP) and its potential to revolutionize cocoa farming in Ghana's cocoa industry. The study employed an exploratory research design, collecting primary data through structured questionnaires from 367 cocoa farmers, 159 pollinators, and 30 extension staff. Data were analyzed descriptively. The study

Bumblebee cost-effectiveness for sunflower pollination in isolation cages
Ekonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2010 The lack of pollinators during sunflower seed production in isolation cages can lower the seed yield up to 90%. That is why we analyzed the cost-effectiveness of bumblebee usage as pollinators.

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2023 The promotion of cocoa farm productivity has necessitated the intensification of input use with ensuing loss of natural pollinators. Ghana Cocoa Board’s (COCOBOD) remedy to declining pollinator population is addressed in the rolling out of hand pollination in the 2016/17 crop year.

Pollination of Nypa fruticans (Wurmb.) in a South Florida botanic garden
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 When plants are removed from their native habitat, reproduction can be compromised if pollinators are absent, especially when plant-pollinator interactions are species-specific and the plant is self-incompatible.

Pollen germination and hand pollination in pitaya (Selenicereus spp.)
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2022 Hand pollination is a necessary assisting method for pitaya (Selenicereus spp.) production to achieve a high yield. With the cultivated area increasing at an exponential rate in recent years, a comprehensive study of the pollination process was conducted. We developed an ideal medium for pitaya pollen in vitro germination in this study, then tested the
