P7948
Corn
P7948 has given very high dry matter yields of forage with a good starch content on favourable open PACTS sites. Between 2021 and 2024 it was tested on 32 favourable open forage locations. The dry matter yield of P7948 measured over this period was 14% higher than the Control hybrid P7034 with a dry matter content 3.5% below the Control. P7948 is a large stature hybrid and has very good resistance to lodging.
P7948 is only suitable for sowing on sites defined as favourable. P7948 is not suitable for sowing on any less favourable or marginal site. P7948 should not be sown late. P7948 combines very good standing power with very good resistance to Eyespot (Aureobasidium zeae).
P7948 predicted forage gas output from favourable PACTS sites results over four years was calculated at the high level of 5,535,893 litres per hectare.
