The production of hybrids from the crossing of two
parents or lines of dissimilar genotypes is known as
hybridization.
Of
hybridization To exploit hybrid vigour (heterosis) and use hybrid
varieties.
A) Intra-varietal hybridization: It refers to the
crossing between plants of a same variety.
Selection of parents
Evaluation of parents

Of hybridization Pollination
Tags are attached to the base of the flower with the help
thread.
Tagging/ The following information is recorded on the tag.
Labelling i. Date of emasculation
ii. Date of pollination/crossing
iii. Details of the cross (names of female and male
parents) A×B
iv. Name of the breeder etc.
Harvesting The seeds are harvested, threshed, dried and stored.

iv. The panicle length of the F1 hybrid produced by the cross of A and B was 18 cm.
The average panicle length of F2 produced by selfing of F1 was 12cm. Calculate the
inbreeding depression.
