P8711 Maize Silage Hybrid

New level of performance for northern regions.

  • A tall hybrid with superior roots & stalks.
  • High ratings for drought, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust & staygreen deliver season long silage appeal, and yield stability. These all combine to support a wide harvest window.
  • Produces silage with top-of-the-line energy and digestibility desired by high productivity herds.

Research results show P8711 is most productive in northern regions from Northland to Hawke’s Bay, particularly where Northern Leaf Blight is a significant concern.

Scientific Designation

star 1 star 2 star 3 = very highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer

star 1 star 2 = highly significant yield advantage to Pioneer

star 1 = significant yield advantage to Pioneer

NS = not significant

CA = commercially acceptable

1 Positive DM differences means the bolded hybrid was drier at harvest, negative DM differences mean it was wetter.

2 A positive yield advantage means the bolded hybrid produced more yield, a negative yield advantage means it produced less.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hybrid comparisons are only valid within a range of + or - 4 CRM. These descriptions mainly feature product strengths. When choosing hybrids, also review carefully the trait ratings found in the table here. Contact your local Pioneer Area Manager or merchant representative for further advice.
