P3585PW Corn (Pioneer P3585PW): Yield, Maturity and Characteristics
P3585PW corn is a yellow GM hybrid corn variety, also sold or known as Pioneer P3585PW or Pioneer 3585. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2024 as NSIC 2024 GMCn 95. Corteva Agriscience bred it. It takes 103 to 106 days from planting to the harvest of dry grain, with 6.6 tonnes per hectare in the trials (6.9 in Luzon, 6.3 in Mindanao).
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How long does it take, and how much does it yield?
P3585PW corn takes 103 to 106 days from planting to the harvest of dry grain. That is about the average of the 89 yellow GM hybrid corn varieties with a day count, 105.4 days. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.
Its average yield of 6.6 t/ha trails the average of its group, 8.13. It sits in the lower quarter of its group. One tonne of shelled corn fills about 20 sacks of 50 kilograms. Trial yields come from well managed plots, so your own will depend on water, fertilizer, pests and timing. Its seller gives 110 to 115 days after planting (Pioneer).

Is it resistant to pests and diseases?
| Pest or disease | Rating | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Corn borer | Resistant | Held up well |
It showed no weak spot in the ratings on record. Still, a resistant variety can break down when a new strain or pest population comes, so keep scouting. Read up on Asian corn borer.

Why farmers know it: Pioneer's 2025 brochures for the 3585 line (PW and PWU) bill it as the number one at harvest, under Pioneer's 50 years in the Philippines banner, on Pioneer's current list and the Jan 2025 list. These are the seller's own figures, from its own trials. So plant a small area first, and compare it with your usual corn on the same ground.
Where and when to plant P3585PW corn
It is recommended for Luzon and Mindanao. Start with the color your buyer pays for: yellow corn goes to feed mills, while white and glutinous corn go to the table. Next, pick between a hybrid, which yields more but needs new seed every season, and an open pollinated variety, whose seed you can save. Then match the island group in its recommendation, because trials in Luzon and Mindanao give different winners. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Land preparation for corn.
Before you buy seed
- Buy sealed packs or tagged sacks from an accredited dealer, and check the packing date and germination rate.
- Ask your municipal agriculturist or nearby farmers how it did in your area last season.
- Try it on a small area first, beside the variety you usually plant, before you switch the whole farm.
- Write down the planting day, inputs and harvest, so you can compare varieties on your own ground. anee.io keeps these records for you.
