P8400 — mid-early maize hybrid with dent kernel type, primarily intended for grain and silage production. It is characterized by good grain quality, high yield, and excellent water-use efficiency, ensuring high-quality and effective harvest. The hybrid features rapid early growth and a strong root system, contributing to its adaptability and resilience under adverse conditions.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to stalk lodging and drought, making it a reliable choice for cultivation across various climatic zones, including steppe, meadow, and forest-steppe regions. Resistance to diseases such as smut and helminthosporium is rated high, reducing the risk of yield loss and the need for frequent protective treatments.
Cultivation recommendations include the use of post-emergence herbicides in accordance with crop development stages and avoiding late harvest to maintain grain quality. The hybrid is suitable for all planting dates and is recommended at planting densities ranging from 65 to 80 thousand plants per hectare, depending on growing conditions. Due to its characteristics, P8400 is a proven and efficient choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable maize yields.
