P9127
P9127 Maize Silage Hybrid
Bred to yield, destined to impress.
Earliest of the Optimum AQUAmax® hybrids offering yield stability for silage and grain.
- Tall plant with strong roots, stalks, drought tolerance, foliar health and staygreen.
- Often produces a second cob resulting in deceptively high silage yields with exceptional grain content and whole plant digestibility.
- Good option for early planting into cool spring soils.
- Performs best in moderate to high yield environments, while delivering yield stability in hot, dry seasons.
- Companion with P8500, P8666 or P9400.
Widely grown from Kaitaia to Ashburton where a hybrid of this maturity is required.

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 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.
