✓

Answer

Plant hybridization is beneficial to us in the following ways:

It is useful in obtaining clones and genetic experimental plants.
It is a quick and convenient method.
Hybrid plants are stronger than either parent plant in general and have a higher yield.
Crop plants giving a much higher yield can be developed using this technique.
Plants resistant to diseases, pests and climatic factors can be produced by hybridization with desired plants or wild species.
The hybrid plants (especially ornamentals) have more colourful or fragrant flowers that enhance their commercial value.
