Cross Pollination Concerns
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2023 5:31 pm
So, I read that growers of seed purpose will plant one crop and then plant the next crop miles away to keep from cross pollination. And 1 mile was NOT enough distance as per this book I was reading. One of the seed providers I was following on IG was posting about growing various pepper plants and near each other and I messaged him about it and he was just like yeah I put netting around the plants it's fine. If thats fine then why do growers grow crops far apart or maybe the book was referring to a situation that was the exception and not the rule? But cross pollination is a big problem with peppers from what the book said.
This is all new to me, I really don't know much other then what I read. Personally I would like to cross a pepper plant with a Venus Fly trap and have a pepper plant that eats bugs!!!! That would be boss. I bet I cold sell a lot of those lol...
