Hybrid seed corn shall mean corn seed with is to be planted for any use except seed production. It shall be one of the follmd.ng: (1) Single cross hybrid - the first generation craSS between two inbred lines of corn. (2) Double cross hybrid - the first generation cross between two single cresses. (3) Three-way cross-the first fe::sTation 8TCSS between ~n inbred line and ~ single cross. (4) Top cross hybrid - the first generation cross between an inbred line of corn and an open pollin2ted v~riety, or between a single cross and an open-pollinated variety of corn. b. Inbred line: The inbred line shall be a relatively true breeding strain of corn resulting from at least five (5) sacces sive gener-atd.on of controlled self fertiliz ation with selections for trueness to type. 72 c. Male Sterile for ~arent: A male sterile ear parent may be used to produce hybrid seed corn for certification by one of two methods. (1) A male sterile ear parent of the same pedigrev as a normal fertile ear parent may be used. Seed of male sterile ear parent plants shall be blended carefully with seed of the normal fertile ear parent to assure an ample supply of pollen producing plants in the cOITmercial crop. A maximum of 60 percent male steri-le seed shall be blended with 40 percent of norrna.l, seed to assure the needed pollen supply. (2) The second method shall provide that the male parent plants are of a pollen restorer line or lines. The pollen from such male restorer lines shall provide ample pollen producing characteri stic in the hybrid seed of the seed ear (female) parent. d. Male Sterile Lines: (1) A male sterile line may be substituted for its 73 fertile counter part as one parent of a found ation single cross, provided. (a) The male sterile line has been back crossed for not less than five generations to its female counterpart, and (b) The male sterile line is the same in other characteristic as its female counterpart. (2) Male sterile lines propagated by hand pollination shall be eligible for certification. e. Fertility RestJring Lines: A fertility restoring line may be substituted for its nonrestoring counterpart in a foundation single cross provided the fertility restoring line is the same in other characteristics as its non-restoring counterpart. f. Recovered Fertility Restoring Inbred Line: A recovered fertility restering inbred line shall be eligible for certification when back crossed to its recurrent percent for not less than five gener ations, and.shall be selected for fertility restor ation relative to a specific cytoplasmic sterile 74 source. The originator shill provide proof of fertility restoring ability to be acceptable for certifi cation. (A)Hybrid Seed Corn. 1. Field Inspections. a. Inspection period. (1) At least four (4) field inspections shall be made. (a) The first field inspection shall be made one week before the tassels appee.r on either parent. (b) The second field inspectiQn shall be made at the time of- early taaseling of male parent. (c) The third fie~~~pbetion shall be made at the time of early tasseling of female parent. (d) The fourth field inspection shall be made one week before harvest time to inspect the seed ears. 75 If necessary, the second field inspection and the third field inspection shall be cancelled. b.
