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

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.
