California Seed Growers Isolation
Mapping Systems
The following online mapping systems are provided as tools to help maintain field isolation of various seed crops. The Demonstration Map is provided for users to practice and experience how the map works. There is no charge for pinning on this map.
All other maps require permission in order to use them. Please view the tutorials listed below BEFORE using any of the maps. It will answer most of your questions. The maps are programmed with isolation distances for different crops. Email notifications are sent to all parties when the isolation distance is violated by a pin.
