This research was carried out to determine the pollen quality (pollen viability and germination), quantity (pollen production) and the role of cross pollination on the fruit set in Hicaz and 33 N 26 pomegranate cultivars under Adana ecological conditions in 1997. Pollen viability levels with TTC and FDA, pollen germination level with agar in the petri method, and pollen production capacity with the hemacytometric method of these cultivars were determined in both male (A type-unfertile) and bisexual (B type-fertile) flowers. In addition to these experiments, the changes in the fruit set and fruit quality in open-, self- and cross-pollination (with …
