P72847 has been tested on 22 favourable locations over three years, and on 16 less favourable locations over two years. P72847 has demonstrated the ability to produce very high relative dry matter content silage on favourable sites (39.5%). Dry matter yields are above average for these maturity levels with an advantage of 8% over the control hybrid on favourable sites and 5% on less favourable sites. 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.
P72847 has given very high dry matter yields for this maturity with good starch content. On favourable sites P72847 has given a dry matter yield 8% above the Control hybrid with a very high dry matter content of 39.5%.
Performance highlights:
