P9400 Maize Silage Hybrid

Stands tall – delivers big time.

A tall, dense plant producing high grain content silage with superior digestibility.

  • Strong agronomically with a sound all-round disease resistance offering.
  • When planting in early spring into cold wet soils consider planting P92575 or P9650.

A popular high yielding early choice in Northland and Waikato, while giving stable yields in Taranaki and Lower North Island as a mid to full season hybrid.

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.
