Crop
Minimum distance

100 m
For the production of certified seed
50 m
(b) The crop shall have sufficient varietal identity and purity as regards the characteristics of the components.
In particular the crop shall conform to the following standards:

for the crops used to produce basic seed, 0,1 % for the maintainer and the restorer line and 0,2 % for the CMS female component,

In case of Hordeum vulgare produced by means of CMS, it shall be 85 %. Impurities other than the restorer shall not exceed 2 %.
The minimum varietal purity shall be examined in official post-control test on an appropriate proportion of samples.’
