Pollination won’t affect flavor of
the resulting fruit in peppers. The fruit tissue is developed solely from
mother plant tissue. The pollen will only impact seed tissue, particularly
endosperm. Sweet corn is the only veg crop I can think of whose harvested
portion quality is affected by the pollen donor. The exception is that many fruits have
multiple pollen sources for multiple seeds. The size of the fruit is then
affected by the thoroughness of pollination. Fewer pollinated seeds results in
smaller fruit size. That’s one reason cross-pollinated crops, like
cucumbers and melons, need to have beehives located nearby. Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 From:
