2. Environmental Isolation & Pollen Buffer Zone Checks

Verify and document all measures to prevent gene flow and ensure environmental isolation. This section must be completed during the pre-flowering stage and updated weekly during anthesis.


Calculated Isolation Distance to Nearest Compatible Crop (meters)

Calculated Isolation Distance to Nearest Wild Relative/Weedy Species (meters)

Do the implemented isolation distances meet or exceed the minimum required by biosafety protocol?


Primary Pollen Dispersion Mechanism

Physical Barrier Height (meters) if applicable

Buffer Zone Vegetation Composition

Are there any sexually compatible wild relatives or weedy species within 500 meters?


Is the trial site located near organic or non-GM conventional cultivation areas?
