In self pollination purity of the race is maintained.
Less chances of failure of pollination.
New species and varieties of plants are not produced.
Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma in a flower of anther plant of same type.
Advantages of cross pollination :
By cross pollination, the developed progeny is stronger and healthier.
Seeds formed are of improved type and are viable.
Seeds store greater quantities of food substance like carbohydrate, fats and proteins.
