P1315 Maize Silage Hybrid

Defensive from Northland to Hawke’s Bay.

An imposing hybrid similar in stature to P1636 while being quicker to harvest and with better foliar health. 

  • Season long appeal is delivered by notable drought tolerance, staygreen and superior Northern Leaf Blight and Rust resistances.
  • Tall with superior stalk and root strength.
  • Research trials show P1315 delivers higher silage yields as P0900 and P0937.
  • Where Head Smut is a concern, plant P0900.

Companion with P0900, P0937 or P1636.

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 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.
