Pollination control bags (PCBs) are essential in plant hybridisation for preventing external pollen contamination and ensuring genetic purity. While conventional materials like kraft paper, plastic, and muslin cloth are inexpensive, they often lack durability and fail to regulate critical internal microclimate factors.
