P0021
P0021 Maize Grain Hybrid
Hard to beat consistency.
Produces an eye-catching cob on plants with sound standability and staygreen, bundled together with top disease resistances.
- A relatively short plant that is most productive in moderate to high yield environments.
- An well-known mid-maturity hybrid in the north and a top full-maturity option in the lower North Island.
Companion with P9978, P0200 or P0362 depending on agronomic and maturity requirements.

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.
