Hybrid Descriptions<br />

NEW!<br />

P7524<br />

» Early Maturity » Maturity Class 6<br />

» Primary End Use: Forage and Biogas<br />

P7524 is a striking new early maturity hybrid. It combines very good early vigour with a tall growth habit. It has given high<br />

dry matter yields of good starch content and will suit growers seeking to produce a large quantity of early to mature silage and<br />

also those aiming for maximum biogas production. It is suitable for growing in the open on all but the most marginal sites and<br />

under film in many locations. It has produced good yields of very early maturity silage when grown using the Samco System.<br />

Hybrid Characteristics<br />

• Tall, large stature<br />

• Very good early vigour<br />

• Good comparative resistance to<br />

Eyespot (Aureobasibium zeae)<br />

Grown In The Open<br />

• On good to favourable sites<br />

Grown Using The Samco System<br />

• On a wide range of favourable<br />

sites in South and North 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 />

JUSTINA<br />

» Early Maturity » Maturity Class 6<br />

» Primary End Use: Forage<br />

JUSTINA’s commercial success and particular combination of yield, maturity and agronomic strength ensures it can<br />

justifiably claim to be ‘The Great All-Rounder’. Whether sowing under film or in the open JUSTINA has been able to<br />

provide growers with the reliability that they have so often failed to obtain from other hybrids.<br />

Hybrid Characteristics<br />

• Single cross with flint dent grain<br />

• Very good early vigour<br />

• Uniform impressive tall crop<br />

• Large cob at full maturity with<br />

deep large kernels<br />

Grown In The Open<br />

• On good to favourable sites<br />

• Maturity between P7892 and<br />

PR39G12<br />

Grown Using The Samco System<br />

• On all maize growing sites in the<br />

UK and Ireland<br />

• Avoid late planting on the most<br />

marginal sites in northerly<br />

counties of Ireland and England<br />
