(1) Hybrid kinds or varieties of seed which contain between 90% to 95% hybrid, as a result of incompletely controlled pollination, shall be labeled with percentages of both the hybrid and also the non-hybrid components shown on the tag. No one kind or variety of seed shall be labeled as hybrid if the pure seed contains less than 90% hybrid seed. If the seed contains 95% of the pure seed which is hybrid seed the actual percentage which is hybrid may be omitted but the seed must be labeled as a hybrid. (2) Exemption to hybrid labeling: Hybrid wheat shall be labeled the same as all other hybrids except that wheat shall be considered a hybrid if the seed contains 75% or more of the pure seed which is hybrid.
