Among the disadvantages usually given to economical hybrid seed wheat production are the high seeding rate requirements and the problems of seed production arising from low cross-pollination potential. The relatively high seeding rate in wheat is firmly established, but numerous questions remain on its cross-pollination habits. The objective of this investigation was to employ male-sterile wheats in an effort to help resolve the problems surrounding crosspollination and hybrid seed production.
