- (a) If any kind and variety of seed present in excess of five percent (5%) is "hybrid" seed, the seed must be designated "hybrid" on the label.
- (b) The percentage that is hybrid seed must be at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the percentage of pure seed shown unless the percentage of pure seed which is hybrid seed is shown separately. If two (2) or more kinds or varieties are present in excess of five percent (5%), each that is hybrid must be designated as hybrid on the label.
- (c) Any kind and variety that has pure seed which is less than ninety-five percent (95%) but more than seventy-five percent (75%) hybrid seed as a result of incompletely controlled pollination in a cross must be labeled to show the percentage of pure seed that is hybrid seed.
- (d) One (1) kind and variety of seed may not be labeled as hybrid if the pure seed contains less than seventy-five percent (75%) hybrid seed. However, the seed may be labeled as a mixture or blend.
(e) The state seed commissioner may, by rule, define controlled conditions and satisfactory purity for the production of hybrid seed of any kind. A hybrid designation must be treated as a variety name.
