GUIDANCE Production management guidelines for every particular area. Precision placement of cultivars. Interaction between yield potential, growth class, prolificacy, plant population and cultivar type. SEVEN KEYS OF CROP PRODUCTION 1. Climate and soil The choice of crops depends on the nature of the soil, the climate and precipitation which together determine the type of plants that may be cultivated and their ultimate yield potential. 4. Crop rotation Rotate for higher and sustained yields. Monoculture with a single crop compromises future yields. Crop rotation is conducive to improved vigour and higher yields. The benefits of crop rotation include the alleviation of pathogen and pest build-up in the soil and improved soil composition and fertility. 2. Fertilisation Soil fertility and fertilisation are integral parts of crop production. Fertility is determined by the nutrient status of the soil, it can be defined as non-mineral elements supplied by the air and water, primary nutrients (N, P & K), secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg & S) and micronutrients. Of all the nutrients that can be applied in fertiliser form, nitrogen fertilisation plays the most important role in realising a crop’s potential yield. 5. Plant population Management factors affecting yield include, row spacing, planting date, planting depth and plant density. Optimum plant population depends on factors such as hybrid selection, moisture stress level, soil fertility and targeted yield. Average plant population has shown a steady increase over the past decade. 6. Tillage The trend is to reduce tillage as it preserves soil quality and fosters moisture retention. Economic benefits include good yields and yield stability, saving time, reduced fuel consumption and machinery wear and tear. It reduces overall production costs. 3. Cultivar selection Choosing the right cultivar is one of the most important decisions a farmer makes every year. Yield potential, stability and agronomic characteristics determine cultivar choice. A cultivar package is recommended for good risk diversification. 7. Agrochemicals Seed treatments, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides all protect and optimise the plant factory for improved production and provide a complete risk management package. Today’s new, more environmentallyfriendly products, complement modern cultivars and bring out the full yield potential. 5 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec2_ENG_03.indd 5 12/23/15 3:20 PM PANNAR IS DEDICATED TO: MAIZE SUNFLOWER SOYBEANS DRY BEANS SORGHUM WHEAT Sustaining success across your whole farming unit.

These hybrids are recommended for grain and silage production, as well as maize foggage. The high potential eastern production region, which includes the West Rand, eastern Highveld, KwaZulu-Natal and the cooler parts of the Eastern Cape, is humid, potentially leading to a higher incidence of disease. In these production areas, it is advisable to inspect plantings regularly for plant diseases and spray if necessary. PANNAR’s YIELDBOOST® fungicide spray programme is a cost-effective management system that can increase the yield potential of certain hybrids in these areas. A package made up of hybrids from the various growth classes is recommended for good risk distribution. NB! The management of possible insect resistance to the Bt gene is legally binding. The planting of a refuge according to regulations is required where any Bt hybrids are used (B, CB, BR or CBGT). Refer to the schematic guidelines on page 28.

The hybrids offer outstanding performance and stability across all western dryland production regions. The western production region includes the North West, the western Free State and Limpopo. Good risk distribution in the western region is achieved by management of the planting date and good moisture conservation practices. An important requirement for hybrids in this region is high prolificacy, in order to maximise production when optimal conditions occur, and minimise risk under sub-optimal conditions. NB! The management of possible insect resistance to the Bt gene is legally binding. The planting of a refuge according to regulations is required where any Bt hybrids are used (B, CB, BR or CBGT).

PANNAR’s irrigation package comprises conventional, stalk borer resistant, glyphosate herbicide tolerant and stacked gene hybrids. Cultivar choice is very important, with the emphasis on stability. The package can be utilised in a single or double cropping system, where, for example, maize follows wheat cultivation. The ultra early growth class hybrids are the obvious choice in a wheat-maize rotation system. The ultra early hybrids typically have a single-stem upright growth habit, tend to be single cobbing and have excellent standability. The foundation for a high potential grain yield is accurate planting: spacing plants uniformly within the row and planting at the same depth. Uniform seedling emergence creates the opportunity for optimal production per plant. The ultra early hybrids are recommended at a high plant population and it is therefore advisable to reduce planting speed to ensure the best possible intra-row plant spacing (six kilometres per hour is ideal). If cultivation takes place under less intensive management conditions, the medium growth class hybrids may be considered for planting under irrigation. Yield results in excess of 12 tonnes per hectare are realistic for this type of hybrid if planted early. NB! The management of possible insect resistance to the Bt gene is legally binding. The planting of a refuge according to regulations is required where any Bt hybrids (B, CB, BR or CBGT) are used. Refer to the schematic guidelines on page 28.

PAN 6B-465B is similar to PAN 6Q-445B and PAN 6Q-345CB, while PAN 6Q-865BR is similar to PAN 6R-845CBGT. They are particularly suited to dryland production and are well adapted to all maize production areas. Late plantings in the cooler eastern parts should be avoided. The genetic background of these hybrids provides good tolerance to Diplodia Ear Rot, Grey Leaf Spot (GLS) and Cob and Tassel Smut. They exhibit good standability. Green Mealie: SC 701: With its big, tasty kernels, large cob and exceptional shelf life, SC 701 is undoubtedly the current leader in the green and roasting mealie industry in South Africa. It is also suitable for the production of baby corn. As it falls in the medium late growth class, SC 701 dries down slowly. It is also an excellent silage cultivar. SC 701, which has good tolerance to Maize Streak Virus, is recommended at a population between 25 000 and 35 000 plants per hectare. A population of 25 000 plants per hectare in the high season, when green mealies are readily available, will ensure the bigger marketable cobs preferred by street vendors (hawkers). Farmers are advised to take preventative measures against Grey Leaf Spot. 19 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec3_ENG_05.indd 19 1/7/16 10:22 AM MAIZE YELLOW HYBRID PACKAGE This formidable yellow maize package of ultra early, early and medium hybrids offers a good long-term risk distribution strategy.

We strive to deliver tailored advice and service through our team of experienced sales representatives and agronomists. PANNAR’s combination of exceptional products and innovative seed care and post-planting crop care offers a complete risk management package for crop producers. PANACEA® YIELDBOOST® Stalk borer spray programme: The trademark PANACEA® represents PANNAR’s complete plant health initiative. It includes the advice and seed treatment products that add value to our seed. The YIELDBOOST® stalk borer spray programme is a PANNAR initiative to increase the productivity of selected maize hybrids. The spray programme provides excellent stalk borer control in maize with quick knockdown and residual action. It controls all stages in the stalk borer life cycle. The initiative involves a complete risk management package for crop farmers and our seed-producing partners: • First-class advice on diseases and pests that occur on farmers’ crops from time-to-time. • Advice on possible control measures against such threats. • Identification and evaluation of the best seed treatments that complement cultivars of the various crop seeds and add value to the company’s seed products. • For your convenience, some standard seed treatments are applied in PANNAR’s seed conditioning plants – the farmer receives seed that is ready to plant. • PANNAR evaluates new fungicides and insecticides from various respected agrochemical companies on an annual basis, in order to advise its seed production partners and commercial farmers. • Spray programmes are developed and established for PANNAR to identify the most economically efficient combinations and advise farmers during decision-making processes. This provides farmers with a complete cost-effective risk management package in order to increase the profitability of their farming operations. YIELDBOOST® The YIELDBOOST® Fungicide and insecticide spray programmes are the fruit of the PANACEA® initiative that enables the farmer to benefit from the value of PANNAR SEED’s research in this discipline first-hand, under commercial planting conditions for selected maize hybrids. YIELDBOOST® Fungicide spray programme: All PANNAR’s hybrids are tested every season in various environments for their fungicide response. A series of unique fungicide spray programmes have been developed from the findings. Although the primary aim of fungicide application is to control disease to foster a better yield, an additional advantage is that plants usually remain green and healthy for a longer period of time, which is advantageous for standability and the grain quality of the harvest. Results indicate that there are significant differences between hybrid responses to various spray programmes. The risk profiles of certain hybrids indicate that some may need two or even three sprays, depending on the seasonal conditions, whereas others may require only one spray or even no spraying at all. The YIELDBOOST® fungicide programme highlights the fact that fungicide applications should be a cost-effective management tool in maize production and should support responsible rather than indiscriminate spraying. The most significant improvements in production efficiency are discernible among the ultra early and early maize hybrids. The YIELDBOOST® insecticide strategy focuses on the non-Bt hybrids. The proactive stalk borer spray programme maximises the yield potential of specific top-performing maize hybrids. The stalk borer spray programme specifically targets the Lepidoptera family. After ingestion of the products, larvae stop feeding almost immediately and subsequently die. These insecticide products have egg sterilising properties and control larvae. Consequently, they are active on the entire life cycle of the stalk borer. They are environmentally friendly and safe for other insects. They also reduce the chance of red spider mite outbreaks. The products are registered for application by centre pivot, tractor and highboy sprayer. Under normal conditions they should provide control for 14 days. Best practice is to monitor moth populations and spray preventatively when moth flights peak or at the first signs of damage (holes in plants), or alternatively if 10% egg infestation is observed in the leaf sheath. More information regarding our YIELDBOOST® fungicide and insecticide spray programmes is available from your PANNAR representative or agronomist or the PANNAR website . CROP DISEASE POCKET GUIDES (‘BAKKIE BUDDIES’) PANNAR’s exclusive maize and sunflower diagnostic disease field guides are available in a handy pocket size. The pocket guides are ideal for the identification of the most important crop diseases. The comprehensive maize disease fact sheets are available on PANNAR’s website. They include aspects such as new control measures, disease resistance (see agronomic tables) and agrochemical recommendations. The crop disease pocket guides (maize and sunflower) are also available on PANNAR’s website. The disease field guides for maize and sunflower are incorporated in the new PANNAR Sprout app, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

The products currently applied to the seed as seed treatments in the PANNAR seed conditioning plants consist mainly of fungicides, insecticides or a combination of both. These products offer the following advantages: • They protect the seed and seedling at the most vulnerable maturity stages and protect the most exposed plant parts, and also contribute to seedling vigour. • Top quality chemical products in combination with the correct polymers and dyes are the most environmentally friendly way of protecting the seed against early-season insect infestation and seed-borne or soil-borne disease. • Seed treatment is particularly important where seed is planted in cold, wet conditions which delay emergence. Maize seed fungicide treatment is standard practice in PANNAR’s seed conditioning plants. In most cases, seed is treated with an insecticide as well. Fungicides: Broad spectrum fungicides are used to protect the seed and seedlings against disease in the early stages of the plant’s development. Seeds and seedlings are incredibly vulnerable at these early stages and require extra attention and protection. It is therefore necessary to apply fungicides to the seed. The effect of fungicides is threefold: • They keep in check the fungi and disease residing on the surface of the seed. • They control soil-borne fungi and fungi inside the seed. that serves as a biological barrier that protects the roots against early attacks of soil insects and nematodes. PONCHO®VOTiVO™ is a systemic insecticide and biological seed treatment for use on maize for the control of soil insects, e.g. black maize beetles (Heteronychus arator), astylus larvae (Astylus atromaculatus), ground weevils (Protostrophus spp.), wireworms (Elateridae), small false wireworms/dusty surface beetles (Gonocephalum and Mesomorphus spp.), great false wireworms (Somaticus spp.) and leafhoppers (Cicadulina mbila), as well as the bio-stimulation of plants, improved growth and reduced early attacks by nematodes. PONCHO®VOTiVO™ contains a bacterium (Bacillus firmus) that is applied on the seed. When the seed is planted and the environmental conditions are favourable for germination, the bacteria start growing and multiplying. These bacteria feed on root secretions and multiply as the roots develop. It forms a biological barrier and protects the roots during the critical stages of plant establishment against damage by nematodes. The bacteria compete with nematodes for space and food sources. Polymers and Dyes (film coatings): The function of polymers and dyes stretches far beyond being a colourant for the seed. At PANNAR, safety is of the utmost importance, not only for our employees, but also our customers and especially the environment. Polymers and dyes have the following characteristics and benefits: • The dye gives the seed an attractive appearance. It indicates that the seed is chemically treated and thus cannot be used for human consumption or animal feed. • It serves as an adhesive for the other important seed treatment products that are applied to the seed. • They give the seedling a good springboard to success. • It limits the amount of “chemical dust” that comes off the seed during handling. Insecticides: • The seed is safer for the handler and limits pollution by the “chemical dust” that can be detrimental to the environment. Insecticides are used to control insects that normally feed on the seed or seedling. PANNAR offers different insecticide combinations on various crops (e.g. PONCHO®, CRUISER® and GAUCHO® 600FS). PONCHO® provides effective systemic protection to maize against the major soil insects which can cause plant population losses. At a concentration of 1.4 ml/1 000 seeds, it is effective against the leafhopper that spreads Maize Streak Virus. The seed treatment by PANNAR ensures even and reliable treatment. PONCHO VOTiVO is a combination of PONCHO , a systemic insecticide, with a biological component, VOTiVO™ (Bacillus firmus) ® ™ ® • It ensures a smooth finish on the seed, improving seed flow and plantability of the seed. • It improves the flow of seed through the planter for an accurate plant stand. An optimal plant population is fundamental to and synonymous with good production. The Peridiam polymer from Bayer CropScience is used by PANNAR as a seed treatment protective layer on maize seed. 25 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec3_ENG_05.indd 25 1/7/16 10:23 AM MAIZE MANAGEMENT OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED MAIZE HYBRIDS The use of genetically modified hybrids has made a significant impact on the management requirements and yield of maize. Glyphosate tolerance simplifies weed control and the Bt stalk borer resistance gene reduces the impact of stalk borer damage. Both of these features minimise the potential yield loss of the crop. PANNAR’s superior genetics are available in stalk borer resistant, glyphosate tolerant or stacked gene form, where both traits are combined in one hybrid. Grain producers may only cultivate hybrids containing any of the Genetically Modified (GM) traits if he/she has signed a valid Technology and Product Stewardship Agreement, thereby accepting the strict conditions and responsibilities regarding the planting and cultivation of the seed. Farmers are required to acquaint themselves with the GMO user guidelines and adhere to the requirements regarding the planting of suitable refuge areas in the case of Bt hybrids and the prescribed herbicide dosage and time of application for glyphosate tolerant hybrids. If there is any risk of cross-pollination from GM-maize to non-GM-maize cultivated for non-transgenic contracts, please take the necessary isolation precautions to minimise it. GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT HYBRIDS Hybrids with glyphosate tolerance offer effective crop management with unsurpassed broad-spectrum weed control and excellent crop protection. Use of this technology simplifies management considerably, has no residual effect in the soil and is environmentally friendly. It is essential to use a glyphosate tolerant hybrid as refuge for the stacked gene hybrids. PANNAR markets maize hybrids with the glyphosate tolerance gene under licence from Monsanto (ROUNDUP READY® maize) and from Syngenta (AGRISURE® GT (GA21)). Only Roundup PowerMAX® (L7769) herbicide is recommended by the registration holder for post-emergence use on ROUNDUP READY® maize. For maize hybrids with the Syngenta AGRISURE® GT gene, only TOUCHDOWN Forte HITECH® (L7305) or HALEX® (L8415) is recommended by the registration holder for post-emergence use. Glyphosate herbicide may be applied in combination with certain residual pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides, independently or as tank mixtures. This provides additional flexibility and better weed control. Please consult your PANNAR or chemical representative for guidelines for the safe and optimal use of the glyphosate tolerant cultivars. Management Guidelines: • Broadcast (over the top) glyphosate herbicide application should only take place from the GROUND CRACKING STAGE UP TO THE V8 STAGE of the maize plant. The V8 stage is reached when the first plants in the field have eight leaves, with closed collars around the main stem. The actual number of visible leaves may be more. Do not make broadcast applications if mechanical crop damage will occur due to the passage of the spray rig. • BROADCAST APPLICATION AFTER THE V8 STAGE MAY RESULT IN YIELD LOSS OR DELAYED MATURITY. For best results, use flat fan or twin jet nozzles that are suitable for low water volume deliveries. • Where sequential applications are necessary to control specific weed species (e.g. Cyperus esculentus), the second application should not occur within 10 days of the first application. If by this time the maize is beyond the V8 stage, a post directed application (see below) will be necessary. • Directed glyphosate applications between the rows can be made after the V8 stage where row spacing permits the passage of the application equipment, without causing mechanical damage to the maize crop. Importance of managing herbicide tolerant crops and weed resistance to herbicides Proper management of herbicide tolerant crop technology is important to preserve the effectiveness and value of the tolerant crop seed and its corresponding herbicides for future use. Growers who utilise herbicide programmes that include herbicide tolerant crops can do so on an annual basis provided the technology is effectively managed. More information regarding the stewardship of glyphosate herbicide use and possible weed resistance is available on the PANNAR website, or if you have any questions, please contact your PANNAR sales representative or agronomist. * ROUNDUP READY® is a registered trademark used under licence from Monsanto Technology LLC. * AGRISURE® GT (GA21) and the Syngenta logo are trademarks of, and used under licence from, a Syngenta Group Company. 26 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec3_ENG_05.indd 26 1/7/16 10:23 AM MAIZE STALK BORER RESISTANT HYBRIDS The stalk borer resistance gene in the PANNAR stalk borer resistant hybrids offers protection against first and second instar stalk borers and affords the crop the opportunity to develop to its full potential. The Bt gene will only control small, immature larvae and not adult larvae. Insect Resistance Management Strategy: The purpose of the strategy is the protection of the technology, extending its shelf life and ensuring its long-term usability. The insect resistance management strategy comprises the following elements and is legally binding: • Knowledge of pest biology and ecology. • Refugia to support the development of Bt susceptible insects. In addition to planting a refuge according to Option A or B, the grower must also adhere to certain important requirements when planting the refuge. Refuge: • The non-Bt maize (i.e. refuge) must – – have a similar maturity to the Bt maize; – be planted within seven days of planting the Bt maize; – be planted on the same farm as the Bt maize; and be planted under the same cultivation techniques and growing conditions as the Bt maize. Thus, if the Bt maize is planted under irrigation, the refuge maize must also be planted under irrigation. That being said, bear in mind that less water may be distributed at the outer edge of an irrigated field than in the centre. • Monitoring and reporting of incidents of insect resistance development. • Every farmer must plant his/her own maize refuge. In other words, neighbouring farmers’ non-Bt maize lands may not serve as refuge. • Implementation of integrated pest management practices. • Refuge “strip” areas must be at least six rows wide with no crossover of Bt and non-Bt rows. Refuge areas must be positioned in such a manner that some refuge is planted on the outside borders of the Bt maize. • Communication and education. The refuge area is a legal requirement and an integral component of Bt maize (B, CB, BR and CBGT) production. It must be planted in strict accordance with the applicable laws and rules. Please take the necessary precautions to protect the Bt technology. The refuge is also important if farmers encounter problems of any sort with Bt plantings. Continuous monitoring of maize plantings and stalk borer populations is important. Regular inspection will enable farmers to intervene and apply insecticides, if it appears that the stalk borer population is not being controlled by the Bt technology. Please consult your PANNAR representative for guidelines for the safe and optimal use of the Bt technology. The farmer can select one of the following options to plant a refuge: Option A: 5% non-Bt maize refuge that may not be treated with an insecticide. • Mixing of Bt maize seed and non-Bt maize (refuge) seed is not permissible. • Refuge maize must be planted in such a manner that no Bt plant is more than 400 m away from a refuge maize plant. • Farmers must regularly monitor and inspect their Bt crop (weekly) and immediately contact their seed representative or agent if stalk borer infestation exceeds the threshold values in the Bt maize. In the case of Monsanto, the threshold is 10% or more plants damaged. In the case of Syngenta, it is 5% or more plants. Compliance with the insect resistance management strategy and particularly with the refuge requirements will be monitored as follows: In practice, this means that for every 95 hectares of stalk borer resistant maize, the farmer must plant five hectares of non-Bt maize (i.e. maize without any Bt genes). This non-Bt maize may not be treated with any insecticide registered for control of maize stalk borers. • On-farm compliance monitoring by an independent third party; and Option B: 20% non-Bt maize refuge that may be sprayed with a non-Bt protein-containing insecticide/biopesticide. The representative is required to advise the farmer to ensure on-farm compliance with the refuge planting provisions. It is of the utmost importance that the necessary technology stewardship requirements are observed. In instances where farmers do not comply with these requirements, it will be viewed in a very serious light. In practice, this means that for every 80 hectares of stalk borer resistant maize, the farmer must plant 20 hectares of non-Bt maize (i.e. maize without any Bt genes). This non-Bt maize can be treated with registered insecticides, but not with insecticides that contain Bt proteins. • General compliance monitoring at individual seed company level during farmer visits. Detailed guidelines for Bt maize production are available from the PANNAR representative. 27 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec3_ENG_05.indd 27 1/7/16 10:23 AM PLANT THE CORRECT REFUGE AREA FOR BT-MAIZE STEP 1: Choose the best option for your farm.

For the past two years, PANNAR has delivered four out of the top five sunflower hybrids in the ARC national trials. Medium Late Growth Class Clearfield® Production System PANNAR’s range of hybrids with the CLEARFIELD® trait competes head to head with the conventional hybrids, setting a totally new precedent for crop rotation. The CLEARFIELD® production system provides a cost-effective alternative. The EURO-LIGHTNING® herbicide (L8436, with active ingredients Imazapyr and Imazamox) provides effective post-emergence control of a variety of broadleaf weeds and grasses. The inherent herbicide resistance is a natural mutation; the hybrids are not genetically modified and all sunflower hybrids are GMO-free. PAN 7095CL – High yield potential with the CLEARFIELD® trait • This hybrid has a yield potential similar to the conventional hybrids on the market. • The first hybrid with the CLEARFIELD® trait to compete head to head with the conventional hybrids. It was the top performer in the 2012 ARC national trials. Since then, it has maintained an excellent record of performance. The PANNAR sunflower hybrid package performs well in all of the different sunflower production regions of South Africa. This diverse hybrid package provides good, stable performance with good risk management that can help expand your business. The South African farmer can plant PANNAR’s sunflower range with peace of mind, with the knowledge that these hybrids incorporate the best technology on the market. The conventional sunflower package performs exceptionally well, is stable and adaptable and all products have excellent Common Rust tolerance. In addition to these hybrids, PANNAR now also markets high-yielding CLEARFIELD® hybrids, including the first CLEARFIELD®PLUS hybrid. The CLEARFIELD®-PLUS gene is an improvement on CLEARFIELD®. The PANNAR package also features a hybrid high in oleic acid, with high mono-unsaturated fatty acid content. High oleic sunflower oil is addressing the trend for healthier deep-frying oils. A hybrid package consisting of single and three-way crosses is recommended as a strategy to better manage disease and drought stress. It is also recommended that farmers stagger the planting dates for better risk management.

Glyphosate Tolerant* Cultivars Early Maturity Class: Cool regions and later planting in temperate regions PAN 1454R – First across the finish line • A quick-maturing cultivar for regions with a restricted growing season. • Robust cultivar ideally suited to the cooler eastern Highveld. • First choice for wheat-soybean rotation. • High oil content. • Not recommended for the warm production regions. PAN 1532R – Widely adapted to cool and temperate regions (NEW) • Very good, stable performance across all production areas. • An excellent irrigated cultivar. PANNAR has access to the best commercial soybean cultivars and pre-commercial lines from across the world, as well as lines bred locally. PANNAR’s policy is to release the best varieties possible into the South African market, regardless of where they originate. • Upright plant type, well adapted to high plant populations and narrow inter-row spacing. • Very good standability and harvests easily. For the past five years, PANNAR’s cultivars have held the top performance position in and across all regions. The question is, does history predict the future? There is no simple answer: The table below shows 18 years of national cultivar trial testing history, including the best rank achieved by a PANNAR variety. It includes all the important players in the cultivar market and it is considered a reasonably unbiased indication of relative strength of a programme. This history does not predict the future, but it documents our sustained commitment to a market that has always shown promise. It demonstrates a consistently good performance over an extended period, despite increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. If you have planted these top ranked varieties over the years, you will have experienced the incremental genetic gain. Medium Maturity Class: Temperate regions and later planting in warm regions (Irrigation) No, history does not predict future gains, but it confirms that the infrastructure within PANNAR is in place to replace good with better and better with awesome. • Best yield stability in the cultivar range. • Widely adapted. • Exciting cultivar that has replaced PAN 1583R. • Indeterminate, but compact plant type well suited to narrow-row cultivation. • Has excellent tolerance to lodging, even at higher plant populations. • Excellent choice in all the production regions, first choice where plant population is maximised in order to gain high yields. PAN 1664R – Top performer in ARC national trials! • The best overall performer in the cool, temperate and warm production regions. • Exceptional yield stability and wide area adaptability. PANNAR’s most popular cultivar. • Attractive plant type that dries down uniformly. • A versatile cultivar that is agronomically well balanced. PAN 1500R – Compact and good standability PANNAR’s versatile package of various maturity class cultivars offers the optimal cultivar for every planting date in all production areas. PANNAR is currently phasing in a new range of soybean cultivars, which significantly out-perform the current commercial offering. This is exciting news for farmers who are out to improve their soybean farming profitability by increasing yields. The three most important aspects of successful soybean production are: plant population, planting date and the growth class of suitable cultivars for each production region. Soybean cultivars are classified into 12 growth classes (growth class 00, very early, to growth class 9, late). Cultivars in growth classes 5 and 6 are generally the best suited to general production in South Africa, with the classes 4 and 7 catering for certain niche markets. PAN 1521R – Exciting new all-rounder (NEW) • Exceptional stability across all the regions: Equally well suited to cool, moderate and hot regions. • Consistent performance over seasons. • A winning combination of yield and agronomic characteristics.

There are few players in the market (seed and grain), which means that individual elements within the market could have potentially large impacts. Two breeding programmes contribute to the vast majority of the cultivars released. A relatively small number of farmers contribute to the grain deliveries, while a small number of traders influence local grain prices and China dictates the quality and price of imported dry beans. This said, it is a good business to be in. Dry bean farmers are specialists and it will remain this way for years to come, even if mechanisation of harvesting reduces the risk factor. PANNAR has been at the forefront of the drive to mechanise dry bean production and has been focusing on the transfer of technology to assist farmers in mechanising their harvesting process. Progress is, however, slow in both cultivar development and improvement in cultural practices which will facilitate mechanisation. Grain quality is an important attribute in our selection process. Despite the complexity of breeding for a number of additional selection criteria, PANNAR has made important improvements. PAN 9292 – The best in the west • A cultivar similar to PAN 116, but with some significant improvements. • PAN 9292 is especially well suited to the North West production regions. It displays good general disease resistance, wide area adaptability and increased yield stability. • Grain quality is good. The smaller, rounder bean reduces potential for mechanical damage. PAN 9216 – Red flower, indeterminate growth habit • Good performance in national dry bean statistical trials. • Potential for direct mechanical harvesting with a combine harvester. • Important agronomic traits: indeterminate growth habit; excellent standability; large seeded. • Unique red flower makes it recognisable anywhere in the world. Red Speckled Beans A top-performing, red speckled bean package that offers exceptional yield performance and stability. The package provides a cultivar for all production systems, from the high input, mechanised operation to the low input, subsistence setup. • Excellent general disease tolerance, including Rust, Angular Leaf Spot and BCMV resistance. Small white canning bean A winning combination of exceptional yield, disease tolerance and grain quality. PAN 148 – A proven performer PAN 123 – A top performer • The most popular cultivar in the PANNAR dry bean package. An integral part of dry bean production in South Africa. • The top canning bean in ARC multi-season trials. • Maintains excellent performance in multi-season national strip trials in Mpumalanga and the eastern Free State. • Well adapted to all production regions and still the cultivar of choice in Mpumalanga and the eastern Free State. • Good yield potential and Rust resistance makes for a widely adapted cultivar. • Cultivar of choice in the eastern Highveld. • Excellent performance in all major canning bean production regions. 40 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec4_ENG_04.indd 40 1/7/16 12:35 PM DRY BEANS DRY BEAN CULTIVARS AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS General Characteristics Bean type Growth habit* ± Days to 50% flower PAN 148 PAN 9292 PAN 9216 PAN 123 Red speckled Red speckled Red speckled Small white canning Ind.

PANNAR SEED’s sorghum breeding programme has been running for more than 30 years and is one of the oldest in the world. Locally developed hybrids are also planted in the rest of Africa, South America, Mexico and Australia. Over the past decade, the malt market has contracted to such an extent that a decision was taken to change the grading system of sorghum. In the old grading system, there were three classes, namely GM, GL and GH (class GM and GL have no tannin, while the GH class contains tannin). The GM class only included hybrids with high malting values, while the GL class was suitable only for animal feed. The system has now changed and the GM and GL classes have been combined in the GM class. The new GM class has nothing to do with malting values, but includes all hybrids that do not contain tannin. The GH class includes all hybrids containing tannin. Grain South Africa is currently exploring the export market for grain sorghum in Africa and Asia to stimulate greater sorghum plantings locally. The PANNAR grain sorghum package maintains an excellent record of performance in the ARC trials, as well as the PANNAR trials. PAN 8906 and PAN 8816 are recommended as the main planting for all grain sorghum production regions. PAN 8906 is particularly well suited to the milling industry as well as for ethanol production. PAN 8816 has excellent yield stability and area adaptability. It is a malting hybrid, also very suitable for the milling industry and for ethanol production. PAN 8906 – Good milling quality with excellent yield potential • Excellent yield potential and stability – second in PANNAR national trials over the past three seasons. • Uniform growth habit and attractive plant type. • Classified GM with good milling characteristics. • Well suited to ethanol production. • Good threshability. • Large-seeded with high bushel weight. • Good standability and general leaf disease tolerance. • Good Head Smut tolerance. Late Growth Class PAN 8625 – Speciality bitter sorghum • Outstanding yield performance and agronomic characteristics. • Widely adapted. • Bitter grain type; classified GH. Good malt quality. Medium Late Growth Class • Medium plant height with good standability. PAN 8816 – The best hybrid in the PANNAR package • Good tolerance to Head Smut. • Excellent yield potential and stability. • Very uniform growth habit and good standability. Attractive plant type. NOTES • Large-seeded grain, high bushel weight and good threshability. • Classified GM; good malt quality. • Well suited to ethanol production. • Good general leaf disease tolerance. • Good Head Smut tolerance.

PANNAR cultivars maintain an excellent track record in the ARC national trials. The programme focuses on improving the yield potential of wheat production in South Africa, as well as the development of cultivars with new sources of resistance to Russian Wheat Aphid and Rust. The ARC Small Grains Institute’s national trials confirm the PANNAR wheat cultivar package’s excellent yield potential and adaptability in the various local production regions. PANNAR’s dryland package consists of true winter, winter and intermediate wheat cultivars. There are several breeding programme highlights. PAN 3161 has a combination of good aluminium tolerance and Russian Wheat Aphid resistance. PAN 3161 seedlings grow vigorously and the cultivar is an excellent choice on fields with a wind risk. In the intermediate growing period, PAN 3379 is a good choice for later plantings in the western and central production areas of the Free State. PAN 3379 demonstrates strong seedling vigour and has excellent standability due to its shorter straw. PAN 3368 is better suited to the central and eastern production areas of the Free State. PANNAR is literally a “one-stop seed supplier” in the various irrigation areas. The package boasts high potential irrigation cultivars divided into three growing period classes: medium late, medium and medium early. The package consists of PAN 3497, PAN 3471 and PAN 3400. PAN 3497 performed exceptionally well in the ARC national trials and, with its slightly longer growing period, similar to PAN 3471, it is more suitable for early plantings. PAN 3400, with a quick growing period and excellent yield potential, is ideal for later plantings. The PANNAR package is the obvious choice for the irrigation farmer. NOTES Wheat cultivars classified as resistant to Rust and Russian Wheat Aphid must, as with susceptible cultivars, still be monitored for the occurrence of these pests, since new races/biotypes which have the ability to overcome the resistance may develop. Factors such as disease pressure, appearance of symptoms at the seedling stage and prevailing climatic conditions may also affect the effectiveness or expression of resistance. 44 43140_Pan_Catalogue_2016_Sec4_ENG_04.indd 44 1/7/16 12:35 PM WHEAT WHEAT CULTIVARS DRYLAND, SUMMER RAINFALL AREAS Growth Class Cultivar PAN 3118 Exceptionally wide area adaptability with top performance, especially in the western dryland production regions of the Free State. This cultivar is also known for excellent performance under low yield potential conditions. PAN 3120 With its long growing period, this cultivar is very well adapted to early planting dates. It is an outstanding cultivar known for excellent performance on high potential soils and can be planted as early as 20 April in the western production areas of the Free State. PAN 3161 Good yield potential and wide area adaptability, exceptionally strong seedling vigour, shorter straw length providing excellent standability, Russian Wheat Aphid resistance and good aluminium tolerance. PAN 3195 A new addition to the long growing season class. Shorter and stronger straw providing excellent yield potential. Under high potential conditions it can be planted early. PAN 3368 A top performer in the eastern Free State. Resistant to two of the Russian Wheat Aphid biotypes and particularly suitable for cultivation in the central and eastern Free State. PAN 3379 A high potential cultivar with a shorter straw length that is resistant to two of the Russian Wheat Aphid biotypes. The cultivar has strong seedling vigour, a short growing period and excellent hectolitre mass. Shows moderate susceptibility to Stripe Rust. True Winter Types Intermediate Types WESTERN CAPE IRRIGATION PAN 3471 Spring Types Area Adaptability and Characteristics PAN 3497 PAN 3471 is certainly the top performer in the medium growing period class. PAN 3471 is the top choice for the main planting on account of its consistent and reliable performance across various seasons, planting dates, environments and at different yield potential levels. PAN 3471 has good straw strength and standability. Displays good resistance to Stripe and Leaf Rust pathotypes. The medium to late grower PAN 3497 is the number one choice for early plantings. It has an excellent yield potential at early plantings and achieves top performance in the ARC Small Grains Institute’s trials. It has good stooling capacity, grading characteristics and tolerance to Stripe Rust. The cultivar is susceptible to Leaf Rust. PAN 3400 A top performer in the medium to early growing period class and a good choice for planting at medium to late planting dates. Its shorter straw makes PAN 3400 suitable for higher seeding rates as required by later planting dates, to compensate for the reduced stooling capacity as temperatures rise later in the season. Irrespective of its growing period, PAN 3400 competes favourably yield-wise. PAN 3400 is resistant to Stripe Rust and moderately susceptible to Leaf Rust. PAN 3471 Has a high yield potential, good straw strength, standability and shows good resistance to current Leaf Rust and Stripe Rust pathogenic types. PAN 3471 is very well suited to dryland cultivation in the Western Cape, as supported by its performance in the ARC test results.

PANNAR is synonymous with quality. We have a wealth of expertise in planted pasture and a wide range of versatile cultivars to meet your unique needs. PANNAR’s forage crops are thoroughly tested under local growing conditions for high carrying capacity and palatability for sustainable animal production. Key to Forage Production No growth. Aboveground parts of the plant discolour and die off. A production guideline is supplied for each cultivar to indicate its expected production curve. The production curve for each crop and cultivar depends on the planting date, management and climate. The production curves are only guidelines of the expected forage production period and differences between cultivars. Also keep in mind that the time indicated that the crops grow strongly is not necessarily the best or only time to utilise them. Crops can also be used as foggage or stored as hay. Poor growth. Intermediate growth. Strong growth.
