P8805 Maize Grain Hybrid
Tough all-rounder.
A tough hybrid providing growers with production stability.
- Performs where water may be limited as well as under ideal conditions.
- Has excellent all-round agronomics, a balanced disease profile and fast drydown.
- A popular choice for growers in northern production regions who require early grain harvest.
A resilient widely adapted plant which may be grown from Northland, as a very early option, all the way to Canterbury as a fuller season product.

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.
