See : Outcrossing (cross-fertilisation)
The primary mating systems in plants are outcrossing (cross-fertilisation), autogamy (self-fertilisation) and apomixis (asexual reproduction without fertilisation, but only when it arising by modification of sexual function). However, mixed mating systems, in which plants use two or even all three mating systems, are not uncommon.[1] - Wiki

: yes, I would use "outcrossing" here, as opposed to "self-pollination" or "selfing".

: Inbreeding in English has negative connotations. Maybe inter-breeding?
