P8711 Maize Grain Hybrid

Defensive winner with game-changing yields.

Tall with balanced all-round agronomic and disease resistance package.

  • Very high ratings for drought, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust & staygreen deliver season-long plant health and yield stability.
  • P8711 has average drydown, good husk cover, 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

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.
