Maize P8904

Corn P8904 is a simple hybrid with dent-type kernels, designed for efficient use of available moisture. The plant exhibits high growth form and optimal ear attachment, ensuring good resistance to lodging and root lodging. The hybrid shows high tolerance to Helminthosporium and resistance to rust diseases at level 7 out of 9, which contributes to stable yields even under adverse conditions.

This hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group with FAO 280 and is suitable for grain production and ethanol manufacturing. It demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and high water use efficiency, making it particularly valuable under insufficient soil moisture. Early and optimal planting is recommended, while late planting and harvesting are not advised. Planting density under adequate moisture is 70-75 thousand plants per hectare, and under insufficient moisture — 65-70 thousand.

P8904 is well-suited for monoculture and minimal tillage, simplifying agronomic operations and reducing costs. For crop protection, sequential herbicides should be applied strictly according to plant development stages. Avoiding late harvest helps maintain yield quality and enhance its efficiency.
