Heya..!

advantage of self pollination:
- only method to maintain pure lines in hybridisation process
-maintains the purity or parental characters of the race.

disadvantages of self pollination:
-vigour and vitality of the race decreases
-immunity towards diseases decreses.

advantages of cross pollination:
- introduces genetic recombinations so that, variations are possible.
-plants produced by cross pollination have more disease resistance.

disadvantages of cross pollination:
-undesirable characters may creep in.
-good characters of the race may get spoiled.

according to me, cross pollination is more recommendable than self pollination because,

we are able to produce the food for this growing population only due to hybrids..

hybrids are produced by cross pollination.
