Industry:Agriculture
1). The growing into pure culture in artificial/synthetic medium of pathogenic microorganisms. 2). The separation of one group of plants from another so that fertilization between or among groups is prevented. Separation between two hybrid seed production plots can be provided by topographic surface features or artificial/natural barriers, to the height of at least 2.5 m., in the case of rice.
