    Fielder’s Choice
Genetic Purify
While most seed com is grown in the
traditional six-female-rows-to-two-male
rows planting configuration, Fielder’s
Choice™ uses interplanting of male com
between each row of female com placing
the male pollinating plants about 19
inches from the female plants. This close
proximity of male plants to female plants
helps to avoid genetic impurities associ
ated with outcrossing. Timely interplant
ing of the male inbreds between the rows
of female com assures proper pollination
of the female rows to provide the highest
level of purity in seed production as well
as consistently higher production yields.
In addition, careful, complete detasseling
avoids self-pollination. The result is the
most genetically sound hybrid seed com
in the industry.
