What’s the difference between hybrids and genetically modified (GM) vegetable varieties?
The term “hybrid,” which you’ll often see in seed catalogs, refers to a plant variety developed through a specific, controlled cross of two parent plants. Usually, the parents are naturally compatible varieties within the same species. This hybridization, or the crossing of compatible varieties, happens naturally in the wild; plant breeders basically just steer the process to control the outcome. In contrast, GM varieties (sometimes called “genetically modified organisms,” or “GMOs”) are a whole different animal, as we’ll explain in a bit. First, some background on plant hybridization.

Unlike hybrids, which are developed in the field using natural, low-tech methods, GM varieties are created in a lab using highly complex technology, such as gene splicing. These high-tech GM varieties can include genes from several species
Why is this important, it because if this GKG is a naturally occuring hybred in nature then how does Carl stop others from growing it.
The seed companies that develop these varieties claim intellectual property rights so that only they can create and sell the variety. In some cases, companies — such as Monsanto — even refuse to allow scientists to obtain and study their GM seeds
Now you see why this is important especially after all the evidence out there that show other people say the have GIANT KING GRASS for Sale or Giant Napier etc etc.
Now why doesn't Carl just reveal who supposedly made the man made hybrid that he is selling>
