P9650
P9650 Maize Grain Hybrid
Security with performance.
Offers yield stability for grain and silage.
- A moderately tall plant with an erect leaf habit, strong standability and drought tolerance.
- Agronomically balanced with a sound all-round disease resistance, including Northern Leaf Blight.
- Has good husk cover and delivers above average test weight grain.
- Trials show P9650 to be higher yielding than P9400 and P9721.
Widely adapted to North Island growing regions where this maturity is appropriate.

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.
