Some hybrid varieties of several of our food and vegetable crops are being extensively cultivated. Cultivation of hybrid has tremendously increased productivity, Hybrid seeds have to be produced every year. If the seeds collected from hybrids are sown, the plants in the progency will segregate and do no maintain hybrid characters. Production of hybrid seeds is very costly and hence the cost of hybrid seeds is costly. Hence the cost of hybrid seeds becomes too expensive for farmers. If these hybrids are made into apomicts, there is no segregation of characters in the hybrid progeny. Then the farmers can keep on using the hybrid seeds to raise new crop year after year and he does not have to buy hybrid seeds every year.
