P8333
P8333 Maize Grain Hybrid
Productive option for cooler regions.
A tall plant with a long ear, good husk cover, supported by strong all-round agronomics, superior drought tolerance and staygreen.
- Fast drydown and good test weight.
- While slightly earlier than P8666 it has similar inpaddock appearance.
- A tall leafy plant so established plant populations should be at least 5,000 per hectare less than applied for P8240.
Delivers similar grain yields to P8086 in the cooler regions of the Lower North Island and South Island.

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.
