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

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.
