P0362
P0362 Maize Grain Hybrid
Robust hybrid with yield stability and “eye appeal”.
Has an exceptionally robust all-round plant profile producing a chunky ear with deep grain and sound husk cover.
- A top option where standability, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust or Eyespot are concerns.
- These strengths are complemented by superior drought tolerance, staygreen, sound ear rot resistances, good test weight and yield stability.
- Compared to P0547, P0362 has better Northern Leaf Blight resistance and standability, similar yield performance while being about 1.5% wetter at harvest.
Widely adapted to North Island growing regions 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 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.
