P8153
Corn
P8153 is a tall, large stature, late maturity hybrid and was grown commercially in Ireland for the first time in 2024. P8153 is approved for marketing in the European Union but not the UK.
P8153 is a late maturity hybrid and is only suitable for sowing on the most favourable sites in Ireland. It is not suitable for late planting.
P8153 has been tested in PACTS trials under film in Ireland on three locations over three years, so PACTS test results are limited. It has given very high dry matter yields with a good starch content. In PACTS trials P8153 has given a similar maturity and yield performance to P8201. It has demonstrated very good relative lodging resistance.
