Abstract
The present invention encompasses a composition comprising a viable pollen suspension in a water miscible carrier. The compositions are especially suitable for mechanical distribution, such as, electrostatic spraying of the viable pollen composition onto a flowering plant to increase pollination. The invention further provides a mechanical system and method for applying droplets containing a viable pollen suspension to flowering plants to increase pollination.
