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 />

• Maturity between P7892 and<br />
PR39G12<br />
Grown Using The Samco System<br />

UK and Ireland<br />
• Avoid late planting on the most<br />
marginal sites in northerly<br />
counties of Ireland and England<br />
