Gardeners cannot reliably identify and control cross-pollination between similar plant species

Home gardeners are experiencing unexpected crop mutations and hybrid plants (like pepper plants producing tomatoes) due to uncontrolled cross-pollination, but lack practical knowledge or tools to prevent or diagnose these issues. Current solutions rely on scattered forum advice and trial-and-error, leaving gardeners frustrated when their carefully planned crops fail or produce unexpected results. This is particularly painful for those investing time and resources into specific plant varieties.
