P8201 has given very high dry matter yields when grown under film on good to favourable sites in the UK and Ireland. It has also given very high yields when grown on the most favourable sites in the open. This very tall, large stature hybrid produces silage of a good starch content by virtue of its deep kernels. P8201 has a grain texture that provides a useful level of rumen degradable starch, measured at 67.2% in open PACTS trials. P8201 penetrates film easily
* Based on 1-9 scale where 9 = good and 1 = poor
** Assumes plant establishment losses of less than 5%
*** Film penetration varies with conditions and film type; use films approved by Samco or Maizetech
