Explanation:
http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/crops/00303.

Varietal mixtures can cause uneven maturity, lower yield potential, increased susceptibility to disease and insect pests, and be less adapted to specific environmental conditions.

Varietal mixtures are difficult to detect through examination of the physical characteristics of the seed. Seed certification programs and many seed companies rely heavily on inspection of the seed production field to assure varietal purity.
