Figure 5: Model output: Frequency distribution of GM material in maize fields after one season of cross-pollination.

From: Pollen-mediated gene flow and seed exchange in small-scale Zambian maize farming, implications for biosafety assessment

Figure 5

Source of GM material is from a single large GM source field (top), from 10% of the fields (middle), and from 40% of fields (bottom), with full synchrony 1 day standard deviation (SD) in the onset of flowering (left column, yellow), or a SD of 6 days (middle column, brown) or 18 days SD (right column, red). Error bars show 95% confidence intervals. The calculations were based on 10 model repetitions with different random start values, based on the actual field distribution as mapped with GPS in the communities of Chongwe, Chipapa and Mumbwa.
