P0283
P0283 Maize Silage Hybrid
Great looks, strong agronomics, outstanding feed value.
- Strong emergence and early growth.
- Dependable drought tolerance, all-round agronomics, foliar health and staygreen combine to deliver a wide harvest window.
- Waikato silage yield performance is like P9911, around 1% wetter at harvest but has better foliar health and silage quality.
- Excellent whole plant digestibility and energy content.
Plant alongside P9978, P0450 and P0710.

NS = not significant
CA = commercially acceptable
1 Positive DM differences means the bolded hybrid was drier at harvest, negative DM 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.
