P1096
P1096 Maize Grain Hybrid
Secure plant delivers yield consistency.
A balanced all-round product which, like P0900 and P0937, is an obvious choice where standability and Northern Leaf Blight are seasonal challenges.
- Short with low ear placement, superior roots, and stalks.
- Strong Northern Leaf Blight and Rust resistances combine with dependable drought tolerance and staygreen for late season plant health & yield stability.
- Has good husk cover and grain test weights like P0900.
- Aim to establish 85,000 to 110,000 plants per hectare to match realistic paddock yield expectation.
A widely adapted hybrid from Northland to Hawke’s Bay.

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.
