Relative Maturity: Very Early, FAO 185
Primary End Use: Forage, Grain and Biogas
P7381 has now become a well-established hybrid in the Pioneer line-up. Across PACTS trials it has consistently delivered high yields of high dry matter content silage, on both favourable sites (37.0%) and less favourable sites (34.5%).
First grown commercially in 2022, P7381 is a large stature hybrid. P7381 is very early in terms of its relative maturity and has demonstrated strong dry matter yields in both favourable and less favourable sites. P7381 has been evaluated on 34 PACTS favourable open sites and 36 less favourable open sites over four years.
P7381 has produced forage dry matter yields 8% above the Control hybrid on both favourable open PACTS trials and less favourable sites. P7381 has given a high average starch content, averaging 38.0% on favourable sites and 36.7% on less favourable sites.
P7381 is stiff strawed and has proven popular when grown on exposed locations under film. Its rapid development when grown under film is a beneficial feature on less favourable sites and favourable sites in cooler seasons.
P7381 combines a good rating for early vigour with a very good rating for lodging resistance and an Eyespot resistance score of 6.
With a yield over 9.5 tonnes per hectare and an average harvested grain moisture of 30.0%, P7381 has also proved itself as a successful hybrid for grain production.
P7381 has been tested under film on 8 locations over four years. This hybrid has shown good adaptability so far to sowing on both favourable and less favourable sites. P7381 has very good lodging resistance and is suited to growers seeking earliness of maturity and standing power.
Performance highlights:
- High forage dry matter yields for this maturity
- Good starch yields for this maturity
- Performs well on favourable and warmer less favourable open sites
- Good early vigour and very good lodging resistance
- Rapid stover dry down at physiological maturity
- Very early maturity under film
- Lodging resistance is beneficial on exposed locations grown under film
- Proven consistency across very different growing years, from 2022 through to 2025
