What are the reasons why crops are normally self pollinated?
Because the majority of crops (cereal crops) are wind pollinated.
List of self pollinated crop plant?
TomatoesPineapplePeanutsGreen PeppersSweet PeasGreen beansChili PeppersEggplantOranges(all legumes, for example old world "broad beans")Many others are wind-pollinated, and almost no crops on earth depend purely on honeybees, most are more efficiently pollinated by some other insect or creature.

What are three flowers that are insect-pollinated?
Roses are pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies, though they can also be pollinated by the wind. Honeybees are the most common pollinators of sunflowers, and daisies are also pollinated by bees.
Why hybrids are not successful in self pollinated crops?
In self pollinated crops, hybrid vigour is not just like the cross pollinated crop e.g maize.cross pollination in self pollinated crop produce low seed set and cost of hybrid seed increases.less cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restorer gene in mostly self pollinated crop.
List of wind pollinated plants?
Venus Fly Trap Cornflour
What effect does pollen from genetically modified plants have on organically grown plants when they are cross pollinated?
When organic crops are pollinated with GMO crops, the GMO gene can become a part of the organic crop, so the organic seed for the following year contains the GMO. Technically, since organic crops are not supposed to have GMOs in them, this contaminates the organic crops.
What happens when most cross-pollinated crops are self-pollinated for several generations?
you'd get a uniform genetic composition for good or bad. you can get a uniform crop or you may get inbreeding problems
