Description:	Pollination and fertilization are essential for fruit set in peach. In its absence, fruit abscise since peaches do not naturally have the phenomena of parthenocarpy and apomixis (Barbosa et al., 1991). In general, genetic improvement of peach and nectarine is made through conventional breeding methods. Thus, the development of new cultivars is obtained through controlled crosses that are made in the field. Controlled pollinations of peach and nectarine require reasonable available quantities of viable pollen. There is also a need to collect pollen grains at different times and store them for use at another time.
