Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for use in evaluating quality of pollen grains. One example method includes germinating pollen grains of a crop in a fluid media and inserting a sample of the germinated pollen grains and fluid media into a flow chamber of a fluid imaging system. The sample flows through the flow chamber at a predefined rate, and images of the sample are captured by a camera of the fluid imaging system. The method then includes comparing the captured images of the sample to reference images specific to the crop and, based on the comparison, generating a pollen germination score for the sample, the pollen germination score indicative of germinated pollen grains in the sample.
