P72847 has undergone extensive evaluation, tested on 22 favourable locations over three years, and on 16 less favourable locations over two years. Across these trials, P72847 has consistently produced very high relative dry matter content silage on favourable sites (39.5%). Dry matter yields are above average for these maturity levels, outperforming the control hybrid by 8% on favourable sites and 5% on less favourable sites. P72847 is an exciting newcomer to the Pioneer range.
P72847 is an extra early maturity hybrid, well suited for favourable sites as well as the warmest less favourable sites. Over three years, P72847 has been tested on 22 favourable PACTS sites and on 16 less favourable sites over two years.
P72847 has produced very high dry matter yields for its maturity class, with good starch content. On favourable sites, P72847 has given a dry matter yield 8% above the Control hybrid with a very high dry matter content of 39.5%.
Performance highlights:
- High dry matter yields with a very high dry matter content
- Best suited to favourable sites
- Adaptable for the warmest less favourable sites
- Rapid dry down at maturity
