About Pollination Tassel Bags
Pollination Tassel Bags selfing bag for cross-pollination is made of waterproof tassel paper of high strength used for plants selfing to control cross pollination. The standard size of 42 cm (Length) x 18 cm (width) x 10 cm (side-fold) is available. The best part is, we offer this bag to our customers at market leading rates.
Reliable Protection for Controlled PollinationDesigned specifically for maize, sorghum, and cereal crop breeding, these tassel bags safeguard the purity of your research by effectively isolating pollen. Their unique structure maintains airflow and prevents pollen from escaping or unwanted contamination, ensuring superior breeding outcomes without sacrificing plant health or yield potential.
Customizable and Eco-Friendly SolutionManufactured from biodegradable, high-quality materials, our tassel bags offer both robust protection and environmental responsibility. You can order these bags in various sizes, widths, and thickness levels, tailored to the specific requirements of your crop or greenhouse setup. The bags are delivered in packs of 100 or 500 for convenience.
User-Friendly Features and AdaptabilityWith writable surfaces for labeling, water-resistant and breathable qualities, and easy-to-use closure methods, these bags simplify the pollination process. Stable under a wide temperature range, theyre well-suited for both field and greenhouse environments, making them a versatile choice for researchers, breeders, and producers across India.
FAQs of Pollination Tassel Bags:
Q: How do I use Pollination Tassel Bags for controlled pollination?
A: To use, simply slip the bag over the tassel of the plant (such as maize or sorghum) before pollination begins. Secure it using the tie thread, string, or a staple to prevent pollen contamination. Label the writable surface for identification, and remove or replace the bag as necessary after pollination is complete.
Q: What are the benefits of using these tassel bags in breeding programs?
A: These bags prevent cross-pollination and unwanted contamination during controlled breeding trials, preserving the purity of genetic lines. They are breathable, water-resistant, biodegradable, and designed for stable performance in both field and greenhouse conditions, contributing to reliable research results.
Q: When should I apply tassel bags to my crops during the pollination process?
A: Install the tassel bags just before the tassels shed pollen to ensure effective isolation. This usually coincides with the beginning of the pollination phase for your crop. Timely application maximizes protection and seed purity.
Q: Where can these bags be used within breeding operations?
A: They are suitable for use in open fields, greenhouses, and research stations wherever controlled pollination of crops like maize, sorghum, or other cereals and grains is required. They can be customized in size for various crop types and greenhouse setups.
Q: What customization options are available for these tassel bags?
A: We offer customization in terms of bag size, film width (7 cm, 10 cm, 12.5 cm, 15 cm), film length (15 cm to 40 cm), closure type, and material selection (non-woven or kraft paper). Tailoring is done according to crop requirements or as per greenhouse needs.
Q: How should I store the bags to maximize their shelf life?
A: Store the bags in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Under proper storage conditions, the tassel bags maintain their integrity for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
