Hybrid Seed

Hybrid seeds are created by cross-breeding two different parent plants to produce a new variety. This process combines desirable traits from each parent, such as better growth, disease resistance, and higher yields. Hybrid seeds often produce plants that have more robust characteristics than either parent, making them popular among farmers for commercial crops. However, the seeds produced from hybrid plants may not reliably replicate these qualities if planted, which means farmers typically need to buy new hybrid seeds each season rather than saving seeds from their harvest.
