Wind-pollinated plants let their pollen blow in the wind and hope that their pollen grains reach another plant for pollination. Insect-pollinated plants use insects and other animals to carry ...

"Due to its small size, hemp pollen travels farther and deposits in greater quantities than other wind-pollinated crops," said Ross. "Our map simulates just how far pollen can spread, highlighting ...

wind and hail. Those weather factors, along with rising temperatures and humidity levels, all play a part in the success of corn pollination, notes Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal Field agronomist.

Because of the tulip-shape of the flower, the wind is less of an influence on their pollination,' says David. 'This is because the flower's pollen source is recessed inside the flower,' he adds.

One answer is pollination, or plant sexual reproduction. Pollinators—typically wind, water, and animals—carry pollen from one flower to another, where fertilization takes place. In this game ...
