Another example of this is the case of squashes.   The pepo, maxima, 
moschata, mixta, etc varieties will not interpollinate.  Squash flowers are 
big and a 
single insect will easily become laden from one blossom.  By planting the 
various species in alternation, the likelihood of an insect making it from 
one to 
another is minimal.
