Hybrid Descriptions<br />
P8057<br />
» Very Early Maturity » Maturity Class 7<br />
» Primary End Use: Forage and Grain<br />
Hybrid Characteristics<br />
• P8057 grain has a high specific<br />
weight. This specific weight<br />
advantage produces the high<br />
starch contents and starch yields<br />
seen in the <strong>PACTS</strong> Results<br />
Grown In The Open<br />
• Favourable locations in Great<br />
Britain<br />
• Where a high starch content<br />
silage is the aim<br />
• Maturity between P7892 and<br />
JUSTINA<br />
Grown Using The Samco System<br />
• P8057 is a good choice for<br />
growers using the Samco System<br />
who wish to maximise the starch<br />
content and starch yield of their<br />
silage<br />

P7905<br />
» Early Maturity » Maturity Class 6<br />
» Primary End Use: Forage and Biogas<br />
P7905 is a new intermediate maturity hybrid that has given very high yields on favourable sites in the open<br />
and produced early high starch content silage when grown under film. P7905 has no significant agronomic<br />
weaknesses and demonstrated the ability to produce very high yields on fertile sites.<br />
Hybrid Characteristics<br />
• Tall, large stature hybrid<br />
• High dry matter and starch yields<br />
• Has given dry matter yields<br />
above JUSTINA with an earlier<br />
harvest and higher starch<br />
content when grown under film<br />
Grown In The Open<br />
• Favourable locations in the<br />
south of England<br />
Grown Using The Samco System<br />
• On a wide range of favourable<br />
sites in South and North<br />
England<br />
• On good sites in southern and<br />
midland counties of Ireland, and<br />
also favourable, sheltered sites<br />
in more northerly counties.<br />
