How is artificial pollination done on garden veggies when in a greenhouse?

Answer 1

I take a male flower from one plant and peel off the petals and sepals carefully and take that flower and its pollen to a female flower and gently transfer the pollen to the female. one can use a small paint brush to do this but if you are pollinating more than one type of say, zucchini you likely will have some cross pollination unless the brush is cleaned between crop types. This kind of hand pollination is good for all squashes, gourds, zucchinis, cucumbers and any other plant that has male and female flowers.

For self pollinators such as tomatoes, peppers you only need to shake the plant a couple of times a day to imitate wind and move the pollen where it needs to be.

For self pollinators such as peas, beans and lettuce you don't need to do anything, they will pollinate themselves all on their own.

Answer 3

Just gently shake the plants. Or use a paint brush to transfer pollen individually to all flowers.

Answer 4

Commercial growers use bumble bees, they place them in special boxes in the rows.

Otherwise you can hand pollinate, but the bees are better!

Answer 5

I simply use an electric fan. To simulate wind.
