The process of making a bisexual flower female by removing the male parts or incapacitating them is called emasculation. It should be pointed out right away that emasculation is not a universal requirement for artificial crossing of plants. Species with fertility‐regulating mechanisms (e.g. male sterility, self‐incompatibility, protogyny, monoecy, dioecy) may be crossed without the often tedious and time‐consuming process of emasculation.
