P0900
P0900 Maize Grain Hybrid
Hard to fault, stable, all-round hybrid.
A tall plant with a long ear, backed by AQUAmax® drought tolerance.
- Excellent standability, low ear placement, drought tolerance, great foliar health and staygreen.
- An exceptionally balanced package that delivers yield stability.
- East Coast growers will value strong Head Smut resistance.
- Maximise top of the line yield stability by targeting established plant populations of 80,000 to 110,000 plants per hectare according to paddock yield expectation.
- Companion with P0640 or P0937.
Now extensively planted between Dargaville and Napier.

NS = not significant
CA = commercially acceptable
1 Positive HM differences means the bolded hybrid was drier at harvest, negative HM 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.
