P7647
Corn
P7647 is a tall, impressive stature hybrid that has demonstrated a very high silage dry matter yield potential in PACTS trials with a good starch content.
On favourable sites it has given a dry matter yield 12% higher than the Control hybrid with a 2.8% lower dry matter content. It has maintained a high starch content of 36.8% at this very high dry matter yield level. On less favourable sites P7647 has also given a dry matter yield 12% above the Control hybrid with a dry matter content of 33.9%, which was 1.8% less than the very early maturity Control hybrid, P7034.
Overall P7647 has been tested in the open in PACTS trials on 27 favourable locations and on 28 less favourable locations, both over three years. P7647 has been tested on five locations under film over two years, and 8 locations over three years in PACTS grain trials.
In PACTS grain trials over 8 sites and three years of testing P7647 has shown promise for grain production. It has given an average grain yield 8% higher than the grain Control hybrid, P7326, with a grain moisture content 2.7% less.
