Fwd: Pollen Count

Vicki:

The reason I asked about the pollen particles per male and the number needed
to pollinate a 5 segment female is that I ran into a situation where I didn't
have 5 males for one female and used only two. I was wondering what the
outcome would be.

Marv, I use 4 males if you can find them....some top growers use a male for
each segment ....so for 5 segments 4-5 if you have them...brock

Heres one back At you and who ever might have a clue if this is true does
the male determine the color of next years off-spring????
