P7655

Corn

Relative Maturity: Intermediate, FAO 220

Primary End Use: Forage and Biogas

 

P7655 is suitable for favourable locations. In PACTS favourable sites over three years and 21 locations it has given a very high dry matter yield of 113% of the Control hybrid with a starch content of 35.9%. 

 

P7655 was launched in 2024. It is a large stature flint dent grain textured hybrid that has given very high dry matter and starch yields on favourable open PACTS sites over 21 locations and three years of testing. P7655 is not suitable for sowing on less favourable sites.

 

P7655 has given forage dry matter yields on favourable open sites 13% higher than the Control hybrid with a starch content of 35.9%. It tested 2.6% lower dry matter content than the Control hybrid.

 

P7655 once again tops the favourable table with a gas yield of 5,673,763 litres per hectare and 337 litres per kilogram of dry matter. The later maturing hybrid DS1897B now takes second place with a total gas yield only 7,874 litres lower and 5 litres less per kilogram. 

 

 

Performance highlights: 

  • Given high forage dry matter and starch yields on favourable sites
  • A 13% dry matter yield advantage over the Control hybrid
  • Suitable only for favourable sites
  • Large stature hybrid
  • Shown good lodging resistance
