P1315
P1315 Maize Silage Hybrid
Desirable and defensive from Northland to Hawke’s Bay.
P1315 is an imposing hybrid with real silage eye-appeal.
- Strong agronomic stability through superior stalk and root strength, and drought tolerance.
- Late season appeal is delivered by notable staygreen and superior Northern Leaf Blight and Rust resistances.
- Produces higher silage yields than P1253 but with similar digestibility and energy content.
- Where Head Smut is a concern, plant P0900. Companion with P0900, P0937 or P1636.

= 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.
