Corn hybrid P9967 is a simple silage hybrid from the m3 series with dent-type kernels, designed for producing high-quality silage and biogas. The plant features high stature and strong ear attachment, contributing to its stability and ease of harvest. The hybrid belongs to the mid-late maturity group with a FAO rating of 370, ensuring optimal maturation timing and high productivity.
One of the key advantages of P9967 is its high disease tolerance, particularly to smut diseases, with a resistance rating of 6 out of 9. The hybrid demonstrates excellent water use efficiency and high drought tolerance, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions. High starch and dry matter content, along with high digestibility of tissues and starch, ensure high-quality silage and efficient use in biogas plants.
P9967 is recommended for cultivation both as a monoculture and with minimal soil tillage, with the option for late harvest. Optimal planting time is early and optimal; late planting is not recommended. Recommended plant density under adequate moisture is 65-70 thousand per hectare, and 60-65 thousand under insufficient moisture. When using the hybrid for silage and biogas, it is recommended to increase the planting density by 15-20% for maximum productivity.
