Row upon row, tomato plants stand information inside a green-
house. To reproduce, most flowering plants depend on a third party to transfer pollen
between their male and female parts. Some require extra encouragement to give up that
golden dust. The tomato flower, for example, needs a violent shake, a vibration roughly
equivalent to 30 times the pull of Earth’s gravity, explains Arizona entomologist Stephen
Buchmann.
Growers have tried numerous ways to rattle pollen from tomato blossoms.
They have used shaking tables, air blowers and blasts of sound. But natural means
seem to work better.
