This report investigates the factors affecting pollen viability and to identify the key processes limiting seed yields. This study involved testing a number of agronomic practices, including trace element fertiliser application and treatments to reallocate carbohydrates within the plant.This project highlights the need for careful crop management to maximise the percentage of pollen variability and pollen transfer in lower yield parent lines.
