Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to its female part, with two main types: self-pollination and cross-pollination. It is crucial for food production and ecosystem health, supported by various pollinators including insects, animals, and wind. However, pollinators face threats from habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, necessitating conservation efforts to protect them and ensure biodiversity and food systems for future generations.

POLLINATION

• Pollination is a method where pollen grains picked from an anther, which is the male part of
flower 🌸 and transferred to the flower‘s female part called stigma.
• There are two types of pollination:
1. Self Pollination
2. Cross Pollination
SELF POLLINATION

• Self-pollination occurs when pollen grains fall directly from anther into the stigma of the flower.
• This Process is quite simple and fast, which leads to a reduction in genetic diversity as the spam
and egg cells of the flower share some genetic information.
CROSS POLLINATION

• The Type of pollination that allows the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of the flower into
the stigma of anther flowers.
• This Method leads to increase in genetic diversity as different flower will share and combine
their genetic information to create unique offspring.
IMPORTANCE

• IMPORTANCE OF POLLINATION

• 1. FOOD PRODUCTION: POLLINATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE


PRODUCTION OF MANY FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND NUTS.

• 2. ECOSYSTEM HEALTH: POLLINATION SUPPORTS THE


REPRODUCTION OF PLANTS, MAINTAINING ECOSYSTEM BALANCE.
POLLINATOR

• 1. INSECTS: BEES, BUTTERFLIES, MOTHS, AND OTHER INSECTS PLAY A


CRUCIAL ROLE IN POLLINATION.
• 2. ANIMALS : BIRDS, BATS, AND OTHER ANIMALS ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO
POLLINATION.
• 3. WIND : SOME PLANTS RELY ON WIND FOR POLLINATION
THREATS TO POLLINATORS

• 1. HABITAT LOSS: DESTRUCTION OF NATURAL HABITATS AFFECTS


POLLINATOR POPULATIONS.

• 2. PESTICIDES: CERTAIN PESTICIDES CAN HARM POLLINATORS.


• 3. CLIMATE CHANGE: CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS POLLINATOR
BEHAVIOR AND PLANT-POLLINATOR INTERACTIONS.
CONSERVATION

• 1. PROTECTING HABITATS: PRESERVING NATURAL HABITATS SUPPORTS


POLLINATOR POPULATIONS.

• 2. SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES: PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL


PRACTICES CAN HELP PROTECT POLLINATORS.
CONCLUSION

• POLLINATION IS A VITAL PROCESS THAT SUPPORTS THE REPRODUCTION OF


PLANTS AND THE HEALTH OF ECOSYSEM
• POLLINATION HELP TO ENSURE THE BIODIVERSITY AND FOOD SYSTEMS FOR
FUTURE GENERATIONS
