PAN 5R-891BR emerged six days after planting in the Winburg area. Botter Breytenbach, Pannar's representative in the Welkom area, appreciates PAN 5R-891BR's strong seedling vigour for early plant population establishment. In the Western Free State, this is a very good trait. PAN 5R-891BR, which contains the MON89034 stalk borer resistance genes, is a stable performer and delivers solid performance at different yield potential levels in the Western Free State.
The platform includes PAN 5A-291, PAN 5B-491B, PAN 5R-591R and PAN 5R-891BR. This medium-early platform is the strongest prolific platform in Pannar's white hybrid package and is well adapted to the western production regions. The platform delivers very good performance on the high potential water table soils with a clay content of <10% in the topsoil.
