P9650
P9650 Maize Silage Hybrid
Security with performance.
Offers yield stability for silage and grain.
- A moderately tall plant with an erect leaf habit, strong standability and drought tolerance.
- Agronomically balanced with a sound all-round disease resistance offering, including Northern Leaf Blight.
- Waikato research trials show P9650 was 0.9% wetter at harvest than P9400 but delivered 1,100 kgDM/ha more yield.
A useful mid maturity option between P92575 and P9978 which is widely adapted to North Island 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.
