1. Single cross hybrid: In this type of hybrid variety crossing, two genetically different inbred lines are crossed to produce a hybrid variety. The resulting hybrid variety exhibits heterosis or hybrid vigor, which leads to improved traits such as higher yield, better disease resistance, and improved quality.
2. Double cross hybrid: In this type of hybrid variety crossing, two single cross hybrids are crossed to produce a double cross hybrid variety. This method allows for the combination of desirable traits from four different inbred lines, resulting in a hybrid variety with even greater heterosis and improved performance.
3. Three-way cross hybrid: In this type of hybrid variety crossing, three genetically different inbred lines are crossed to produce a hybrid variety. This method allows for the combination of desirable traits from three different inbred lines, resulting in a hybrid variety with improved performance and adaptability to different environmental conditions.
