P8200 is a tall, large stature, intermediate relative maturity hybrid that has been tested on 12 favourable PACTS open locations over three years, and on 53 locations grown under film over an extensive period. It is suitable for sowing in the open and under film on favourable sites. It is not suitable for sowing on less favourable sites.
P8200 has given very high fresh and dry matter yields of silage with good starch content. P8200 usually dries down promptly once it reaches physiological maturity.
