Innovative Trait Technology for White Maize Hybrids
Pannar introduced its first two maize hybrids with PowerCore® trait technology in 2022. Over the past two seasons, South Africa’s maize farmers have experienced long-lasting control of targeted above-ground insects. The PowerCore® trait technology provides broad spectrum protection against above-ground lepidopteran pests, stacked with glyphosate herbicide-tolerant technology for premium insect and weed control. This season, Pannar’s range of white maize hybrids with PowerCore® trait technology expands to five, with the introduction of PAN 5P-947PW and PAN 5P-955PW.
PAN 5P-947PW
PAN 5P-947PW is the new stacked gene offering in the PAN 5R-547R hybrid platform. This medium early platform with exceptional yield potential and very good stability is well-adapted to the sandy soils of the north western Free State and the North West regions.
PAN 5P-955PW
PAN 5P-955PW is an exciting new medium early hybrid platform for the western production areas. This hybrid has good standability and an excellent prolificacy index, yet tends not to produce too many tillers. Good germination with strong seedling vigour makes it the best choice on the sandy soils of the north western Free State. It also has good overall leaf disease tolerance.
PAN 5R-539R
PAN 5R-539R is a medium early hybrid with tolerance to glyphosate herbicide. It is an entirely new platform and a harbinger of the next frontier of genetic gain in maize production. This hybrid is double cobbing with a flex-ear type that can compensate for optimum production conditions. It also has excellent standability. PAN 5R-539R performs very well on the sandy soils of the western production areas.
PAN 5R-523R
PAN 5R-523R is another entirely new platform revealing new generation genetics with an upright plant type allowing for improved harvestability. It is a medium early hybrid with tolerance to glyphosate herbicide. This hybrid has good standability and an excellent prolificacy index as well as a high-test weight that contributes to its yield potential. In testing, PAN 5R-523R has exhibited exceptional yield performance in the water table soils of the north western Free State. It is also well adapted to the North West production regions.
