grade - the name of the plant that has persistent symptoms. He appears as a result of the selection, which lasts for several years (and sometimes - and a dozen). In fact, this artificial selection with little human intervention.

For example, to display the yields and cold-resistant varieties of tomato breeders will each year be selected for the continuation of the offspring plants that generate biggest crop in cool conditions.

Hybrid - "disposable" is the result of crossing two different parent with certain features. Seeds harvested from the F1 cucumber, do not give the same yield.

For example, for yield and cold-resistant tomato scratches and cold tolerant yielding variety. Examples are very simplified, but we will not go into the botanical delights.

Of course, hybrids have a lot of advantages: high capacity, usually - samoopylyaemost vegetables and beautiful appearance. But, although many F1 positioned as unpretentious, it may disappoint. If the conditions to the garden will be unsuitable, the hybrid will not be able to realize its full potential, does not meet expectations, and beautiful picture.

Personally, I plant mainly varieties. Hybrids addition to the main landing, for example, to obtain superrannego and attractive yield. Petunia always planting hybrid - I like that it blooms cascade.

Whatever we were told the West conspiracy theories, the result of genetic engineering is unlikely to cost 50 rubles for a bag to Nura grandmother put him in the garden somewhere near Voronezh.

If you were interested, please put "Thumbs up!" Thanks.
