Hybridization is the process of breeding plants and animals to produce hybrid offspring that have desired qualities. It involves cross-breeding two parent varieties to develop a new hybrid variety that possesses traits from both parents, such as high yield, disease resistance, or climate tolerance. The process involves selecting parent plants, removing stamens from female flowers, collecting pollen from male flowers, pollinating the female flowers, collecting mature seeds, and selecting offspring with better qualities over several generations. Hybrid varieties developed through this process contribute greatly to agricultural progress as they are widely used for traits like high yield and disease resistance.

3. Hybridization is the process of
developing plants and animals
having some desired qualities
like a high yield, disease
resistance , tolerance to climate
etc.

4.  Offspring produced by hybridisation are called hybrids
 Through this technique high quality seeds are
produced
 Cross breeding between the two varieties is done to
develop one variety, which has to desired charateristic
of both them. And the new variety produced is know
as hybrid variety.

5. Steps of hybridization
Selection of parent plants with different qualities
Removal of stamens from the female flower
Collection of pollen grains from the male flower
Pollinating the female flower using the collected pollen grains
Covers the mother plant with polythene bag
Collection of mature seeds from mother plant
Select and grows better varieties of off springs

6.  Better quality plants are produced by repeating this
process in several generation such choice for ensuring
better quality are know as Selection
 The hybrid verities developed through hybridization
contribute a lot to the progress of agricultural sector
 The hybrid verities having features like high yield
disease resistance, ability to give high yield with in a
short period are widely used.
