PAN 3R-573R, an Ultra-Early White Maize Hybrid Germinating Well in the Balfour Area

Farm equipment and seed are sophisticated these days and play an important role in progress. Here, Dawie Brits, of Balfour, is planting PAN 3R-573R with his Equalizer SL11 24/762 planter. The row width is 0.76m and PAN 3R-573R is planted at 54 000 plants per hectare. Francois Hamman, Pannar's representative in the Heidelberg area, shared the after photo showing the good plant stand that was achieved – the result of good management, sophisticated tools and seed.

Successful grain producers are characterized by their expertise, insight, resilience and the acceptance and implementation of new technological practices for sustainable farming. Technology is the major driver for increasing agricultural productivity. It also requires good business acumen and risk management. The uncertainty in prices, returns, government policies and foreign markets means that risk management plays an important role in many farming business decisions.

PAN 3R-573R is an ultra-early hybrid very well adapted to both irrigation and high-potential dryland cultivation. It is well adapted to high plant populations, has good general disease tolerance and good grain quality. At lower plant populations it tends to be mildly prolific. It is a hybrid that produces a high ratio of grain to stover.
