Self-fertilized refers to the process by which a plant pollinates itself. Antonyms for this word could include cross-fertilized or outcrossed which refer to the process of pollination between two different plants. Cross-fertilization helps to increase genetic diversity and results in plants that are more adaptable to changes in their environment. In contrast, self-fertilization can lead to inbreeding, which reduces plant vigor and overall health. So, for farmers and gardeners who want to produce healthy and resilient crops, cross-fertilization is the preferred method, resulting in plants with greater resistance to disease and pests.
