NEW FOR 2026
Over three years, P72847 has been tested on 22 favourable locations and on 16 less favourable locations over two years. On favourable sites, P72847 has demonstrated the ability to produce very high relative dry matter content silage (39.5%). With an advantage of 8% over the control hybrid on favourable sites and 5% on less favourable sites, dry matter yields are above average for these maturity levels. P72847 is a promising newcomer to the Pioneer range.
P72847 is an extra early maturity hybrid suitable for favourable sites and the warmest less favourable sites. P72847 has been tested on 22 favourable PACTS sites over three years and 16 less favourable sites over two years.
For this maturity, P72847 has given very high dry matter yields with good starch content. P72847 has given a dry matter yield 8% above the Control hybrid on favourable sites, with a very high dry matter content of 39.5%.
Performance highlights:
- High dry matter yields with a very high dry matter content
- Suited to favourable sites
- Suitable for the warmest less favourable sites
- Fast dry down at maturity
