P0640
P0640 Maize Grain Hybrid
Leaf disease champion delivering yield stability.
Great looking hybrid combining excellent all-round agronomics with desirable ear rot, superior Northern Leaf Blight, Common Rust and Eyespot resistances.
- Tall plant with sound standability, staygreen and drought tolerance.
- Growers will appreciate the harvest opportunity presented by this hybrid’s very fast grain drydown.
- Companion with P0362, P0900 and P0937 after considering yield expectation, hybrid maturity and desired harvest timing.
Particularly productive from Northland through Waikato, Bay of Plenty and the East Coast where its foliar health, fast drydown and yield performance have been noted by many growers.

Scientific Designation
= very highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer
= highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer
= significant yield advantage to Pioneer
NS = not significant
CA = commercially acceptable
1 Positive HM differences means the bolded hybrid was drier at harvest, negative HM differences mean it was wetter.
2 A positive yield advantage means the bolded hybrid produced more yield, a negative yield advantage means it produced less.
