P7655 is a large stature flint dent grain textured hybrid suitable for favourable sites in the open. It has been tested on 5 favourable locations in 2023. It will be tested under film in 2024.
In its first year of PACTS trials, P7655 has given very high yields of very high content silage. Over 5 locations it gave a silage dry matter yield 15% higher than the control hybrid with a starch content of 38.9%. Its calculated grain yield over the 5 sites, corrected to 15% moisture, was 10.732 tonnes per hectare
* Score on a 1- 9 scale where 9 = very resistant
** Assumes plant establishment losses of less than 5%
*** Film penetration varies with conditions and film. Trials conducted with Samco and Maizetech films
