Outstanding Success With Hybrid Maize
As in the United States of America, outstanding results are being obtained in New. Zealand by the use of hybrid seed maize. The Department of Agriculture is now producing in the Dominion from single-cross parent material imported each year certified seed of the double hybrid known as Pfister No. 360. In a series of trials over a number of years this hybrid has out-yielded local strains of maize and has shown a high standard of quality and uniformity. For best results fresh hybrid seed should be sown each year instead of seed being retained from the crop produced from hybrid seed. Seed supplies of certified Pfister No. 360 are available from the Department of Agriculture, through seed merchants.
