Hybrid plants usually grow faster and more vigorously than other plants. This can be great for farmers because they can harvest more crops and make more money. The factors for which hybridization is carried out are:
- These plant types are more resistant to many diseases and afflictions, which effect parent plants. Fungi, bacteria and viruses can otherwise wipe out whole crops. Disease is such a problem for plants that some selective breeding is done for the purpose of creating strains that are more disease-resistant.
- Hybrid plants may be less susceptible to difficult growing conditions. Plants can be grown tolerant of small water or temperature extremes. Many seeds sold for home gardens are grown selectively, essentially to facilitate their growth.
- Selective breeding can be useful in creating uniformity for plants that are not grown for food. Therefore, the plants will be seen as more attractive. Plants can even be grown selectively to produce more visually attractive characteristics, such as larger or brighter flowers.
- Selective breeding is also a much safer way to manipulate plants than by genetic modification, commonly referred to as GMO. Rather than completely overriding it, it's a process of accelerating evolution.
