Corn hybrid P9398 is a medium-maturing simple hybrid with dent-type grain, designed for cultivation under various climatic conditions. Plants of medium height with compact shape and optimal ear attachment, ensuring resistance to lodging of stems and roots. The hybrid features high starch content and high grain quality, making it versatile for use as grain, as well as for alcohol, silage, and biogas production. Optimum® AQUAmax® technology provides excellent drought resistance and efficient water utilization, promoting good early growth and stable water use during harvest.
The FAO maturity rating of the hybrid is 380, corresponding to medium maturity. The hybrid demonstrates good resistance to major diseases, including fungal diseases, with a rating of 6 out of 9. It is suitable for monoculture and minimal tillage, but it is recommended to avoid dense planting and late harvest to maintain quality and yield. Optimal planting time is early and optimal, while late and very late planting is not recommended.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow the recommended planting density: 65-70 thousand plants per hectare under sufficient moisture, and 60-65 thousand under insufficient moisture. An important agronomic practice is the application of post-emergence herbicides strictly according to crop development phases. Hybrid P9398 is suitable for cultivation in various regions and ensures stable yield when agronomic recommendations are followed.
