P0547 Maize Grain Hybrid
The Rangitikei pace-setter.
A broadly adapted hybrid that is particularly productive in Rangitikei.
- A well-balanced hybrid with grain appeal.
- Outstanding early growth and drought tolerance.
- Shows very fast grain drydown so reaches grain harvest moisture as a 101 CRM hybrid to facilitate earlier harvest timing.
Where Northern Leaf Blight is a concern plant P9978, P0021, or P0362.

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.
