Electrostatic forces can play an important role in pollination mediated by both wind and animal vectors. Because of a gradient in electrical potential between pollen and floral structures, charged pollen carried by the wind can settle more effectively on the stigma than can uncharged pollen. Similarly, electrical charge carried by insects may be sufficient to increase the number of pollen grains transferred to their bodies during floral visits. For example, placing a charged metal model or an actual tethered insect close to a grounded source of pollen grain can induce attraction, and presumably increase the likelihood of subsequent pollen transfer by an insect to another flower. These electrostatic means of pollination are currently being explored for agricultural applications.
