Bagging -> Emasculation -> Dusting -> Rebagging Emasculation -> Bagging -> Dusting -> Rebagging Correct Dusting -> Emasculation -> Bagging -> Rebagging Bagging -> Dusting -> Emasculation -> Rebagging

Explanation

First, **Emasculation** (removal of anthers) is done before dehiscence to prevent self-pollination. Then, **Bagging** covers the stigma to prevent contamination. When the stigma is receptive, **Dusting** with desired pollen is done, followed by **Rebagging** to allow fruit development.
