Answer
Artificial pollination is practiced by plant breeders for developing new varieties. The breeders select two different varieties of a crop plant with desired characteristics. For example, one variety maybe high yielding while the other maybe disease-resistant. Cross breeding between them is done by artificial pollination. Many high-yielding varieties of rice, wheat, maize, etc. have been produced by this process.
