Explanation:

Varietal improvement is a common practice among breeders with the objective of developing high yielding crop varieties with improved characteristics such as high grain quality, early maturation, vigor seedlings, better adoption to the environment, stress tolerance etc.

Varietal improvement mainly focuses on making high yield varieties to meet the demands of people via sustainable agriculture.

High yielding variety seeds (HYV) are the seeds produced by the genetically enhanced high yield varieties. Traditional seeds are the seeds produced by the varieties grown for a long time period without modifying or enhancing the characteristics of the plant.

The key difference between HYV seeds and traditional seeds is that HYV seeds produce higher yielding varieties with better quality and environmental adoption while traditional seeds produce lower yielding varieties with normal quality and less environmental tolerance.
