P8711
P8711 Maize Grain Hybrid
Defensive winner with game-changing yields.
Moderately tall but with low ear placement, superior roots & stalks for notable standability in this maturity.
- Very high ratings for drought, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust & staygreen deliver season-long plant health, and yield stability.
- P8711 has good husk cover, fast drydown and produces high test weight grain.
- Research results show a new level of grain yield performance compared to P8666 and P8805.
A widely adapted hybrid that will be at home in all North Island grain growing regions, particularly where Northern Leaf Blight is a significant concern.

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.
