Abstract
Jammu and Kashmir is Dependent on Agriculture, Horticulture and Tourism as for its economy is concerned and 75 per cent of its population is dependent directly and in directly on cultivation of fruits and crops.To meet the food and fruit requirement of the ever multiplying population of this country, Agriculture/Horticulture production has to be maximized by using improved resistant varities, fertilizers, seeds and other latest protection technologies. For further improvement in agricultural production we have to adopt comprehensive strategies. One of such strategies is pollination management that is a very vital process of crop production. Successful pollination is necessary for most plants to produce viable seeds and good fruits. In agriculture, this process is often responsible not only for producing the edible portions of many of our most important crops but also to ensure that seeds are available for the next year’s planting. Specifically, pollination refers to the method by which pollen from the male part of a flower (stamen) is transferred to the female part of a flower (stigma) so that fertilization can occur. Pollen can be transferred by way of wind, water, or by animals.
