ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGES OF CROSS POLLINATION

Advantages;

Cross pollination leads to cross fertilization in plants . It brings about genetic recombination and introduced the variations in the offspring .

New and improved varieties of plants can be obtained by this technique due to the combination of characters of two different plants .

Plants obtained through cross-pollination are more resistance to disease and unfavourable condition .

It produced numbers seeds of better qualities and high viability .

It helps in the process of evolution .

New or improved varieties of plants are produce .

Disadvantages ;

Cross pollination is not a sure method as chance factor is always there .

It is a highly wasteful method as plants have to produce large no of pollen grains  .

There is considerable wastage of pollen grains especially in wind pollinated flower .

It is less economical as the plants have to develop many devices to bring about this kind of pollination through various agencies .

It is less as the plants have to develop many devices to bring about this .

Some of the very good traits of the race are likely to be lose during recombination .

There are chances of the entry of some harmful and undesirable traits in the plants .Which may persist in the race for ever .
