The correct sequential order of artificial hybridisation is as following
(a) Selection of parents.
(b) Emasculation (removal of anthers from the flower bud before the anther dehisces).
(c ) Bagging (process to cover the emasculated flower with a bag made up of butter paper).
(d) Collection of pollen from other male plant.
(e) Dusting of pollen on stigma.
(f) Re-bagging
Note : If the female parent produces unisexual flowers there is no need of emasculation.
