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 with excellent grain yields.
  • Most productive in moderate to high yield environments.
  • An important mid-maturity hybrid in the north and a top full-maturity option in the lower North Island.
  • Companion with P9721, P9978 or P0362 depending on agronomic and maturity requirements.

Widely planted from Northland to Rangitikei.

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 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.
