Answer

Form of asexual reproduction producing seeds without fertilisation/type of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction to form seeds without fertilisation.

If desired hybrid seeds are made apomictic, the farmers can keep on using the hybrid seeds to raise new crops year after year.
