PAN 4R-838BR surprised after a very difficult January in the area of Koppies. Nelia Louw, Pannar's representative in the northern Free State, passed on a message from the customer: "That maize suffered very much and the last time it had 20mm of rain was on the 4th of January, which is when these photos were taken. I am so surprised by the cobs! It's by the Lord's grace".
The cobs in the photo have 18 rows and 40 kernels per row for the first ear and 14 rows and 40 kernels per row for the second ear. PAN 4R-838BR performs well under a wide range of plant populations and yield potential levels. Although it was initially earmarked for the eastern market, this hybrid is very widely adapted and also a good choice for western production areas.
PAN 4R-838BR is a medium early stacked gene hybrid with second-generation stalk borer protection (MON89034) and glyphosate herbicide tolerance. Strong emergence and seedling vigour gives this hybrid an early advantage to establish a good plant population. In environments where Common Rust is prevalent, a preventative fungicide spray is advised for this otherwise well-balanced hybrid.
