Hybrid corn P8666 belongs to the mid-early maturity group with FAO 290 and is characterized by dent type grain. This simple silage hybrid from the M3 series is distinguished by good early development and high plant density with optimal ear attachment. Due to its high protein and starch content, as well as high grain quality, this hybrid ensures a high-quality yield with productivity ranging from 12-15 tons per hectare.
P8666 is intended for use in various applications, including silage, biogas, and grain. The hybrid demonstrates excellent water-use efficiency and high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice under conditions of insufficient moisture. Resistance to major diseases, particularly to smut diseases, is rated at 6 out of 9, indicating a relatively high level of plant protection.
The hybrid is well-suited for cultivation in monoculture, but is not recommended for minimum soil tillage or late harvest. Post-emergence herbicides should be applied strictly according to crop development stages. P8666 is suitable for early planting, and the recommended plant density at harvest is 75-80 thousand plants per hectare under adequate moisture and 65-70 thousand under insufficient moisture.
