planting of male and female plants Explanation: I think this is about growing crops that need both male and female plants. Many crops need both in order to fruit, and so a schedule or programme is necessary to synchronise flowering.

In seed corn, the corn plant is divided into male and female seed before it is planted. Seed corn gets planted usually 1 male for every 4 female plants or 2 male for every 4 female in a research operation. Many times either the male or the female is planted first, and then after the corn has reached a certain growth stage the other is then planted. This is done to ensure that the corn gets pollinated at the right time. https://wiuag.wordpress.com/2016/11/19/the-production-of-see... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-10-09 14:10:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sunflowers: In order to achieve better synchronization between parental lines and also to obtain maximum seed set per cent and hybrid seed yield, male parent has to be sown late with two staggered sowings i.e., 5th, and 6th days after sowing of female line with a proportion of 60:40 respectively. https://www.arcjournals.org/pdfs/ijrsb/v2-i2/2.pdf |
