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.

“We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
—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.”
