P9721 Maize Grain Hybrid

The hero for fast drydown and timely harvest.

P9721 offers a great all-round balanced package of agronomic and disease resistance traits.

  • High ratings for drought, staygreen, Northern Leaf Blight and Rust contribute to the delivery of consistent grain yields.
  • Has very fast drydown for earlier harvest and reduced drying costs.
  • Plant with P9127, P9978 or P0021.

Popular as a mid to late maturity hybrid in the lower North Island while being an earlier option in the warmer regions in the north.

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.
