Strategies for pollen harvest and storage for increasing pollination and yield in hybrid rice seed production of Mestiso 19 cultivar

Abstract Attainment of high seed yield in hybrid rice seed production is a function of the amount of pollen that the male parent can shed during pollination. Low pollen load of the male parent (TG101M) of hybrid rice, Mestiso 19 leads to low seed yield which limits the number of hybrid rice seed growers engaged in its hybrid seed production. Artificial pollination, through collection and storage of sufficient amount of pollen may provide a...
