Maize P8816

Stable yields in changing conditions

The P8816 corn hybrid from the American brand Pioneer s.a. is a reliable choice for farmers focused on predictable results. This simple hybrid with dent-type grain has proven itself as a tool for intensive farming, demonstrating high adaptability across various climatic zones.

Agronomic potential and characteristics

The vegetation period of P8816 ranges from 90 to 100 days (FAO 90–1240), making it an optimal choice for farms that value a fast start and consistent grain yield. Thanks to its short ripening cycle, the hybrid efficiently utilizes moisture during critical development phases.

Crop health: key advantages

One of the main reasons for selecting P8816 is its genetic resistance to a wide spectrum of pathogens. Pioneer s.a. breeding has provided the hybrid with significant protection against:

• Loose smut;
• Stalk rot;
• Common smut.

Furthermore, the hybrid exhibits high tolerance to common diseases such as helminthosporium, fusarium, and various rots, which significantly reduces the risk of crop loss even in unfavorable phytosanitary conditions.

Planting recommendations

To realize the genetic potential of P8816, strictly following the seeding rate is crucial. Depending on the moisture availability of the field, it is recommended to maintain the following plant density at the time of harvest:

• For areas with limited moisture: 60,000–65,000 plants/ha;
• For areas with sufficient moisture and intensive management: 70,000–75,000 plants/ha.

This hybrid is the choice for those who prioritize phytosanitary safety and stable yields within short vegetation windows.
