P1636
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
= 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.
