P0937
P0937 Maize Silage Hybrid
Solid hybrid with great standability and foliar health.
A modern plant type with erect leaves, notable foliar health, standability and exceptional staygreen.
- Widely adapted, stable yet high yielding hybrid for silage and grain.
- Emerges strongly when planted early into cold wet soils.
- Sound Northern Leaf Blight and Rust resistances will be attractive to growers in high-risk situations.
P0937 performs best in moderate to high yielding situations in warmer northern growing regions. Companion with P0900 and P1185.

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 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.
