Abstract

A study is made of the aggregate composition of anemophilic plants pollen, which both is sprayed artificially and enters the atmosphere upon pollination. All experiments on the pollen of all the species studied have revealed a substantial number of agglomerates consisting of two or more pollen grains. In some cases, these agglomerates contain more than 50% of the total number of the captures pollen grains
