„Hybride“ (hybrid) is often used with information introduced by „aus“ (from) or „durch“ (through/by). This describes which species or lines it originated from or how it was produced.

Common collocations include „eine Hybride erzeugen“ (to create a hybrid), „eine Hybride züchten“ (to breed a hybrid), and „eine sterile Hybride“ (a sterile hybrid). These combinations are especially common in texts about breeding and research.
