Wide hybridization:

• Cross between individual belonging to different species is called wide hybridization.

Objectives of wide hybridization

a) Combination/ interspecific breeding

b) Increasing genetic variability

c) Exploiting hybrid vigor

d) Transgressive breeding

Types of wide hybridization

a) Intrevarietal / inter specific hybridization

b) Intravarietal hybridization

c) Distant hybridization
