What are Hybrid Seeds
A hybrid seed has been bred for various qualities including disease resistance and production yield. As diseases evolve to attack the newer hybrids, the hybrid itself is re-engineered to combat the evolving threat. Hybrids are also engineered for specific climates and environments. A side effect of a hybrid plant is it will often not produce new plants from it’s seed and therefore will require you to purchase new seeds each year. This is all very good for the corporate machine. It is very bad for your long term survival, to depend upon the availability of these seeds at your local Walmart.
