At Ghana Sumatra we have used PBS International Pollination control bags for over a decade for our Oil palm breeding and seed production programs. Seed purity is essential to our business. We test every bag for holes before it is used, and PBS international bags have tested 100% flawless. The bags are water and insect proof meaning the seeds produced are of the highest quality.

The PBS bags are an essential part of successfully operating a controlled hop breeding program. Timing optimum hop bloom for pollination is tricky. The STT bags are open on bottom and top, so they are cylindrical in shape, and we slide them on to the hop plant. The bags also have the addition of a clear plastic panel providing a port to blow in pollen. These bags make an often tedious job as easy as possible!

Successful controlled pollination events are the cornerstone of every breeding program. Hemp pollen is particularly sensitive to humidity and air flow. We have been incredibly pleased with the success rates seen with PBS Pollination systems.

We have been using PBS bags for over 20 years now. We find PBS bags are more reliable and we cannot trade this quality for cheaper bags with potential risk of contamination.

It’s been a wonderful relationship with PBS International. We have come to realise that the choice of pollination bag is incredibly important. Maintaining the structure of the bags and preventing the damage to the flowers and cones is critical to the success of controlled crossing.

I have enjoyed working with PBS International over the past few years. They have a great team and continue to develop innovative products! PBS standard 3D bags are the only bags we use to produce the controlled crosses needed for our breeding program.

We use the bags throughout the year, are very robust and have been successful for our crosses in both seasons – rain, wind and sunshine without damage! Each pollination lasts approximately a month, after which we wash and reuse the bags.
