P0900 Maize Silage Hybrid

Hard to fault, stable, all-round hybrid.

P0900 is an exceptionally balanced hybrid that delivers yield stability and a wide harvest window.

  • Dependable standability, low ear placement, AQUAmax® drought tolerance, great foliar health and staygreen.
  • Has similar yield potential to P0725 but has much stronger resistance Northern Leaf Blight.
  • East Coast growers will value strong Head Smut resistance.
  • A management responsive hybrid that will benefit from adjusting established plant population to match yield expectation.

Extensively planted between Kaitaia and Napier alongside P0937.

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.
