Abstract:The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the suppression of female flowers on the pollen fertility of male flowers of banana plants. Two modes of female flower suppression, one partial and one complete, were applied shortly after flowering to diploid, triploid, and tetraploid banana genotypes. The effect of flower suppression on the number of male flowers and the length of their anthers was evaluated, as well as pollen viability and the size and number of pollen grains per anther.
