(N/A) Hybrid varieties of several food and vegetable crops are being extensively cultivated,which has tremendously increased productivity.
One of the major problems with hybrids is that hybrid seeds must be produced every year.
If seeds collected from hybrid plants are sown,the progeny will segregate,and the hybrid characters will not be maintained.
Production of hybrid seeds is costly,making them expensive for farmers.
If these hybrids are made into apomicts,there is no segregation of characters in the hybrid progeny.
Consequently,farmers can use the seeds from their own harvest to raise new crops year after year without needing to purchase new hybrid seeds annually.
