Maize seeds P8556 - grain variety FAO 250-260 and bioethanol

Advantages of maize seeds P8556:

• High-yielding hybrid from the Pioneer breeding programme, combining the highest grain productivity with low moisture at harvest.

• Dent-type grain, combined with a thin husk, guarantees very good threshing of the grain.
• Stable yield under periodic water shortages.
• Medium-tall, stiff plants and low-set cobs ensure very low susceptibility to lodging.
