The number of damaged (= non intact, not fully developed or aborted seeds, that are not viable) was significantly increased after spontaneous self-pollination than after cross pollination. This is a clear sign of inbreeding depression in the lack of pollinators and economically relevant, since the seeds are used for the next year sowing season. In a nutshell: self-pollination decreases seed quality of cotton.

Fruit set of conventional upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was highest after out cross pollination than after spontaneous selfing (pollinator exclusion).
