Merits
1. Helps farmers to do multiple cropping due quick harvest time
2. Require lesser water than traditional seeds which makes farmers less dependent on monsoon
Demerits
1. Sowing requires cooler temperature than traditional seeds to which the farmers need to get a suitable location.

For Ex: Traditional Seeds Production: 1300KG per hectare

2. They decrease the water table.
3. They require a lot of investment
