Pollination ecology is the mutual relationship between flowers and pollinators. Pollinators play a crucial role in reproduction of flowering plants and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Cucurbit vegetables usually depend on pollinators during fruit and seed setting for their monoecious nature.
Most cucurbit plants have imperfect flowers, male and female flower separately born. So pollinators is more important for cucurbit crops pollination.
You answered your own question! I would never call anything that God created 'imperfect' though. And the answer is that insects happen to do it :)
Hi
there pollen is usually sticky, and does not travel well with wind
cheers
Il serait plus juste de dire que la plupart des cucurbitacées ont des fleurs unisexuées mâles et des fleurs unisexuées femelles et non des fleurs imparfaites.
