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.
  • Research trials show P1315 delivers the same silage yields as P1636 while behaving about 3 CRM earlier.
  • Where Head Smut is a concern, plant P0900.
  • P1315 is tall with superior stalk and root strength and should be planted to establish 80,000 to 100,000 plants per hectare depending crop yield expectation.

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.
