P8086
P8086 Maize Grain Hybrid
Dependable early hybrid with strong agronomics.
Similar in type, maturity and management requirements to P8000 which it replaces.
- P8086 produced similar yields to P8333 in Lower North Island trials but has better standability and Northern Leaf Blight resistance.
- Good husk cover, a long cob packed with deep dent grain and fast drydown.
- Moderate in height with low ear placement, strong standability, drought tolerance and staygreen ratings.
A valuable option for Lower North Island and South Island growers, while providing a balance of yield and earliness in northern growing regions.

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.
