P0891 Maize Silage Hybrid

Reliable veteran.

A proven all-rounder.

  • Very good drought tolerance, standability and staygreen combined with sound resistance to Northern Leaf Blight.
  • Best suited to moderate to high yielding paddocks.
  • Well adapted to high plant populations that should be adjusted to match yield expectations.

When planting early into cold wet soils consider planting P0900 or P0937.

Delivers yield stability for silage, particularly in Northland.

Scientific Designation

star 1 star 2 star 3 = very highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer

star 1 star 2 = highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer

star 1 = significant yield advantage to Pioneer

NS = not significant

CA = commercially acceptable

1 Positive DM differences means the bolded hybrid was drier at harvest, negative DM 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.
