P0891 Maize Grain Hybrid
A veteran hybrid which produces a “sea of gold”.
Very good drought tolerance, standability and staygreen combined with strong resistance to Northern Leaf Blight, Common Rust and Eyespot.
- Best suited to moderate to high yielding paddocks.
- Produces grain with excellent appearance, very high test weight and with food grade end-use quality.
- Well adapted to high plant populations which should be adjusted to match growing conditions and yield expectations.
- Other hybrids to consider include P0640, P0900 and P0937 which is better adapted to planting in cool challenging situations.
Delivers yield stability for grain and silage from Kaitaia to Napier.

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.
