In India, . . . . . . . . crop has the maximum % area under F1 hybrids.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
In India, the Tomato crop has the maximum percentage area under F1 hybrids.
An F1 tomato hybrid occurs when you have two tomato plants of different varieties and then one is pollinated by the other variety's pollen. The seeds of the resulting cross-pollinated tomato will grow plants that are F1 hybrids.
The advantage of the F1 hybrid seed is that the plants grown from it are very predictable and uniform. They have been bred for specific characteristics, such as flavour, colour, number of days to harvest, resistance to disease, etc.
