Question

Hybrid seeds should be raised every year.

Short Answer
Advertisements

Solution

Hybrid seeds should be raised every year because they are obtained by artificially crossing two or more genetically different parent plants, so seeds from hybrid plants do not retain the hybrid vigour and desired traits in the next generation. Hence, to maintain the superiority of hybrids, fresh hybrid seeds need to be produced each year by crossing the parent plants again.
