P0362 Maize Silage Hybrid
Robust hybrid delivering yield and energy.
Has an exceptionally robust all-round profile for silage and grain.
- Combines the best of yield and energy for maximum milk productivity.
- A top option where standability, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust and Eyespot are concerns.
- Superior drought tolerance, staygreen and yield stability.
Widely adapted to North Island growing regions where a hybrid of this maturity is required.
Companion with P9978 or P9911.

Scientific Designation
= very highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer
= highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer
= 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.
