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 />

NEW!<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 />
