The P9960 corn hybrid is a mid-late silage variety with dent kernel type, belonging to FAO group 370. It is characterized by high plant vigor and strong ear attachment, contributing to yield stability and quality. The hybrid features high starch and dry matter content, ensuring high digestibility of tissues and starch, as well as high grain density. Due to these characteristics, P9960 is ideally suited for silage and biogas production.
One of the key features of this hybrid is its high disease tolerance, particularly to fungal diseases, with a resistance rating of 6 out of 9. Additionally, P9960 demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and water shedding, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The hybrid adapts well to monoculture, minimal soil tillage, and late harvest, expanding its application potential in agronomic practices.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to plant P9960 at an increased seed density of 15-20% higher than standard when intended for silage and biogas. This will optimize land use and increase output. The hybrid is supplied with original seed material accompanied by all necessary certificates and documentation, ensuring seed quality and reliability.
