Maize P0216

Stable potential for the grain segment

The P0216 hybrid from Pioneer s.a. is a premium product of the American corn breeding school, focused on achieving high grain yields over a long vegetation cycle. With an FAO of 90–1240 and a maturation period of 160–180 days, this hybrid falls into the late-maturity group, which requires specific agronomic management and optimal climatic conditions.

Agronomic Strengths

A key feature of P0216 is its high level of resistance to pathogens that often cause yield losses in late-season crops. The hybrid demonstrates excellent resistance to common and head smut, and it effectively withstands soil-borne pest pressure during the germination stage. Additionally, its tolerance to helminthosporiosis significantly reduces the need for preventive fungicide applications.

• Grain Type: Dent, which ensures optimal drying and high grain density during harvesting.
• Hybrid Design: A simple hybrid that guarantees field uniformity and predictable growth patterns.
• Planting Density: The recommended range is 50–60 thousand plants per hectare. Lower density allows the plants to maximize ear potential during the extended growing season.

Who should choose this hybrid?

P0216 by Pioneer s.a. is a reliable choice for farmers operating in regions with long, warm summers where late-maturing corn can fully express its potential. This is an ideal solution for those prioritizing total grain production and investing in intensive farming technologies. The hybrid is resilient thanks to its strong immunity, though it requires precise harvesting timing to minimize moisture loss.
