P8532 Maize Silage Hybrid
Balanced all-round plant destined to “tip the scales.”
Combines a strong agronomic profile, disease resistance package with wide adaptability across growing regions.
- Large statured plant with low ear placement, excellent stalks and roots.
- Superior early growth, drought tolerance, staygreen and Northern Leaf Blight resistance.
- Often produces a long ear while raising the yield ceiling in this maturity.
- Silage trial yield performance was outstanding from Matamata to Timaru.
A stable hybrid that can be grown throughout New Zealand for silage and grain where this maturity is required. Plant to establish 100,000 to 115,000 plants per hectare.

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.
