P1636 Maize Silage Hybrid

Enjoy the agronomics of this top yielding hybrid.

P1636 is a tall full maturity hybrid with top-end yield potential in this maturity.

  • Long cob which produces high grain content silage.
  • Combines impressive agronomics, drought tolerance and staygreen that together provide a wide harvest window.
  • Plant early to maximise yields.
  • In high-risk Northern Leaf Blight situations consider P1315 or P1837.

P1636 is well adapted to all warmer northern growing regions.

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.
