A seed mixture or seed blend is an intentionally produced, randomly mixed set of two or more kinds of crop seed. One component is toxic seed, such as transgenic insecticidal seed, and the other component is non-toxic seed of the same crop. The almond (Prunus amygdalus, syn. Prunus dulcis) is a species of small tree from the genus Prunus, cultivated worldwide for its seed, a culinary nut. Along with the peach, it is classified in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed.
