To understand which is better, a pure variety or hybrid, you need to consider the concepts themselves and their advantages and disadvantages.

A hybrid is a plant variety that is the result of crossing several varieties to improve taste, appearance, increase productivity. Seeds collected from hybrids do not convey the qualities that are inherent in the parent set. On sachets of seeds, the hybrid is indicated as F1.

A pure variety is the name of a group of plants with a characteristic set of qualities. Each variety, from a certain group of plants, is similar to each other, but has its own distinctive features. Seeds of varieties retain a set of qualities of parents, they can be planted from year to year, no changes will occur.
