World leaders in pollination control
Developed for successful grass breeding programmes.
Producing high-quality seed while maintaining genetic purity is essential in grass breeding. PBS International pollination bags have been developed specifically for controlled pollination, helping breeders protect valuable crosses from unwanted pollen while supporting healthy plant development throughout the breeding process.
Independent research has demonstrated that PBS pollination bags provide excellent exclusion of unwanted pollen and improved seed set when compared with alternative bag types*. Although pollination bags typically account for only a small proportion of the overall cost of a breeding programme (2-6% ), selecting the right material can significantly improve breeding efficiency, seed yield, and long-term programme success.
The proprietary duraweb® family of materials has been developed specifically for plant breeding applications. Strong enough to withstand demanding field conditions while remaining flexible and easy to use, duraweb® allows essential airflow and natural light transmission while preventing moisture build-up around the inflorescence. The result is reliable pollination control, healthier plants and consistent performance in both field and glasshouse environments. duraweb® is less prone to overheating and high humidity than plastic, and it is designed for high UV stability, making it suitable for field and greenhouse applications.
