Maize is primarily wind-pollinated, as the male flowers (tassels) release pollen that is carried by the wind to the female flowers (silks) for fertilization. Insects can also play a role in maize pollination, but wind is the dominant method.

If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?

A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.


Which three flowers are wind pollinated?

Three flowers that are wind-pollinated include grass flowers, corn (maize) flowers, and certain species of oak trees. These plants typically have small, inconspicuous flowers and produce large amounts of lightweight pollen that can be easily carried by the wind. This adaptation allows them to efficiently reach other flowers for fertilization without relying on pollinators like bees or butterflies.


Is ragweed wind pollinated?

No. Unlike maize, wheat has closed flowers, and usually self pollinates. It is possible for wheat pollen to spread on the wind, but this is very rare. Most studies have shown an out-crossing rate of at most 2%, and only within a few feet.
