New Pannar white maize hybrid, PAN 5R-539R, produces a very good yield

New, medium early white maize hybrid, PAN 5R-539R, produced a very good yield at Grootpan in North West under irrigation, reports Phillip Nel, the area representative. It was planted at 32,000 plants per hectare in tramlines with 0.91 m rows.

The platform

PAN 5R-539R is an entirely new platform and is considered the harbinger of the next frontier of genetic gain in maize production. This hybrid is double-cobbing with a semi-flex-ear that can compensate for optimal production conditions. PAN 5R-539R has excellent standability and performs very well on the sandy soils of the western production areas.
