Isolation Distances For Maize
Maize is probably the best-studied crop in terms of isolation distances. Yet, recommendations for isolation distances have varied significantly. Under average conditions, the isolation distance may be 25 metres. However, in regions with small non-GM fields (< 1 hectare), or with crops being grown primarily for seed production, the isolation distance may be more than 100 metres.

Famous quotes containing the words isolation, distances and/or maize:
“Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“I was surprised by Joe’s asking me how far it was to the Moosehorn. He was pretty well acquainted with this stream, but he had noticed that I was curious about distances, and had several maps. He and Indians generally, with whom I have talked, are not able to describe dimensions or distances in our measures with any accuracy. He could tell, perhaps, at what time we should arrive, but not how far it was.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“O Love, what hours were thine and mine,
In lands of palm and southern pine;
In lands of palm, of orange-blossom,
Of olive, aloe, and maize and vine.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
