Studies on cross compatibility in Jasminum spp.
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019 The present investigation was carried out to study the compatibility among six Jasminum species during 2016–17. Among open, self and artificial cross pollination, the open pollination resulted in maximum degree of fruit and seed set proving the open ...

Scarcity of ecosystem services: an experimental manipulation of declining pollination rates and its economic consequences for agriculture [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Ecosystem services (ES) such as pollination are vital for the continuous supply of food to a growing human population, but the decline in populations of insect pollinators worldwide poses a threat to food and nutritional security.

Open-Pollinated vs. Hybrid Maize Cultivars [PDF]
Sustainability, 2011 The history of maize breeding methods in the USA is reviewed to examine the question of types of maize cultivars in sustainable agriculture. The yield potential of OP cultivars was much higher than national average yields prior to 1930, but hybrid cultivars today often out-yield OP cultivars by 50–100% or more.

Effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations in maize diallel experiment
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015 This study investigated the effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations and kernel biochemical content in a maize diallel experiment. A 7×7 complete reciprocal diallel set (7 parents and 42 hybrids) was used as plant material.
