Very early corn seed P7381

silagegrainresistant to lodging

P7381 is a large stature hybrid that was first grown commercially in 2022. P7381 is very early in terms of its relative maturity and has given high dry matter yields in both favourable and less favourable sites. P7381 has been tested on 26 PACTS favourable open sites and 28 less favourable open sites over three years. P7381 has given forage dry matter yields 11% over the Control hybrid in favourable open PACTS trials, and 8% over the Control hybrid in less favourable sites. On favourable and less favourable PACTS sites P7381 has given a high average starch content of 37.7% and 37.1% respectively. P7381 is stiff strawed and proven popular when grown under film on exposed locations. Its earliness when grown under film is also a strong potential benefit. P7381 combines a good rating for early vigour with a very good rating for lodging resistance, and a score of 6 for resistance to Eyespot (Aureobasidium zeae). Primary End Use • Forage • Biogas Hybrid Characteristics • Produced high forage dry matter yields for this maturity • Given good starch yields for this maturity • Performed well on favourable and warmer less favourable open sites • Good early vigour and very good lodging resistance • Demonstrated fast stover dry down at physiological maturity • Very early maturity when grown under film • Lodging resistance is beneficial on exposed locations grown under film • Consistent performance in PACTS trials across the very different growing years 2022, 2023 and 202 Grown In The Open • On favourable and less favourable sites • Where higher yields are sought without delaying harvest date
