P9721
P9721 Maize Grain Hybrid
The hero for fast drydown and timely harvest.
P9721 offers a great all-round balanced package of agronomic and disease resistance traits.
- High ratings for drought, staygreen, Northern Leaf Blight and Rust contribute to the delivery of consistent grain yields.
- Has very fast drydown for earlier harvest and reduced drying costs.
- Plant with P9127, P9978 or P0021.
Popular as a mid to late maturity hybrid in the lower North Island while being an earlier option in the warmer regions in the north.

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.
