PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pollination method capable of flexibly changing a range where pollination treatment can be performed.SOLUTION: A pollination method according to one embodiment of the present invention is a pollination method of plants, which comprises pollination process of pollinating plants by using a drone capable of stationary flight in which a position of the gravity center in the air is maintained in a virtual sphere having a radius of 30 cm. The pollination process is preferably performed for each flower by stationary flight of the drone in the air. In the pollination process, pollination is preferably performed by giving vibration to flowers. The drone is equipped with an air blowing mechanism, and vibration is preferably given to flowers of plants by applying wind generated by the air blowing mechanism in the pollination process. The drone is equipped with one or a plurality of rotors for flight, and the air blowing mechanism is preferably constituted of the rotors. The air blowing mechanism is preferably further equipped with a cylindrical casing disposed so as to surround the rotor. The air blowing mechanism is preferably further equipped with a meshed protective member which closes at least either one of both open ends of a casing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】受粉処理可能な範囲を柔軟に変更できる受粉方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の一態様に係る受粉方法は、植物の受粉方法であって、空中で重心の位置が半径30cmの仮想球内に維持される停止飛行が可能な無人飛行体を用い植物を受粉させる受粉工程を備える。受粉工程を花毎に無人飛行体を空中で停止飛行させて行うとよい。受粉工程において、花に振動を与えることにより受粉を行うとよい。無人飛行体が送風機構を備え、受粉工程において、植物の花に送風機構により発生する風を当てることで振動を与えるとよい。無人飛行体が飛行用の1又は複数の回転翼を備え、送風機構がこの回転翼で構成されるとよい。送風機構が、回転翼を囲むよう配設される円筒状のケーシングをさらに備えるとよい。送風機構が、ケーシングの両開放端の少なくともいずれかを閉塞する網目状の保護部材をさらに備えるとよい。【選択図】図1
