Abstracts

Selfing of cabbage plants in the bud stage can be rapidly carried out by the use of a pair of scissors, specially modified for this purpose. This method can also be used to advantage in cross-pollination, but it is a little less reliable than the use of a pair of forceps. Furthermore a few points are discussed which are of importance to obtain a good setting of seeds.

Samenvatting

Zelfbestuiving van koolplanten in het knopstadium kan op snelle wijze verricht worden, door gebruik te maken van een voor dit doel gewijzigde schaar. Ook voor kruisbestuiving is deze snellere methode bruikbaar, doch iets minder zeker dan de gebruikelijke werkwijze met pincet.

Voorts worden enkele punten besproken, welke een goede zetting kunnen bevorderen.
