[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 703249, member: 6897"] From the perspective of the seed firm, hybridization had two commercial advantages. First, simple examination of a hybrid seed does not reveal its lineage, thus offering companies proprietary control over the seeds they develop. (Whick seems to be what you have the problem with) Second, the enhanced vigor of hybrid seed is not transmitted to its offspring, requiring farmers to buy new seed every year to ensure continued vigor. Crops cultivated from seed saved from a hybrid crop grown in the previous year are typically less vibrant and significantly lower in yield. [/QUOTE]
