P8711 Maize Silage Hybrid

New level of performance for northern regions.

Moderately tall but with low ear placement, superior roots and stalks for notable standability in this maturity.

  • High ratings for drought, Northern Leaf Blight, Rust and 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 producing herds.

Research results show P8711 is most productive in northern regions for Northland to Hawke's Bay, and particularly where standability and Northern Leaf Blight are significant concerns.

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.
