P8000 Maize Grain Hybrid

Widely adapted, versatile stalwart.

P8000 is tall, with low ear placement, strong roots and stalks for dependable standability.

  • Strong staygreen, Northern Leaf Blight and Rust resistances that deliver season long eye appeal.
  • Good husk cover over a chunky cob with deep dent grain with high test weight.
  • Yields well and has fast drydown.

A popular choice in the lower North Island and South Island, while providing a balance of yield and earliness in northern growing regions.

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.
