Dear Maize Grower,

This book contains the results of the PACTS® (Pioneer Accurate Crop Testing System) early maturity

Maize Forage and Grain Trials conducted between 2011 and 2014.

The PACTS® Trials in this book have been carried out to assess the yield and agronomic characteristics

of early maturity Pioneer maize hybrids that have been developed especially for cultivation in cool

maritime climates such as those found in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia. Farmers intending to

grow maize in such climates need performance data that shows how specific maize hybrids behave in

situations where heat accumulation is often limited.

The sites in early maturity PACTS® Trials are selected to provide locations of differing latitude,

altitude, exposure, rainfall and soil type. The results presented are summarised into locations that can

be considered to be favourable for maize cultivation and those that are regarded as less favourable

for cultivating maize. Most trials are harvested for whole plant forage maize but some locations are

harvested for grain.

Whatever your aims and methods of maize production, we trust that the trial results contained

with this PACTS® Results Book helps you select the correct hybrid for your conditions and enables

improved performance from maize on your farm in 2015.

PACTS® Trial Performance Highlights

P7326 – This is a new very early maturity hybrid that will be available for purchasing for the first time

for planting in 2015 subject to final registration and seed availability. P7326 is the earliest maturity

hybrid in the Pioneer line-up for Scandinavia maize growers. This hybrid has outstandingly good early

vigour and very early starch formation and is likely to be well adapted to the cool maritime conditions

of Denmark and Sweden.

P7892 – This is a very early maturity, large stature, silage hybrid. P7892 has proved to be a popular

choice due to its early starch formation and high dry matter yields. It combines high dry matter yields

with high starch yields and has a strong package of agronomic features including very good early

vigour and fast stover dry down.

PR39V43 – Is a very early maturity hybrid grown widely in Denmark and Sweden. In 2014 once again

produced high yields with consistent early maturity. PR39V43 completed starch formation quickly

making it suitable for producing both forage and dry grain or crimped maize.

P7524 - Is an early silage hybrid with a striking appearance. It is very tall with very good early vigour

and high dry matter yields. It is ideally suited to growers looking to surpass their current silage dry

matter yield levels and is likely to find favour with those growing for biogas production.

P7905 – This hybrid has given very high yields of high quality silage in four years of PACTS® trials,

when grown either in the open or under film. P7905 is more suited to favourable sites where

sufficient heat is accumulated to reach full maturity.

P8200 – This intermediate maturity hybrid was introduced in 2014. Over 3 years of PACTS® trials it

has shown it can produce very high yields on favourable sites.

Pioneer® Brand InoculantsDuPont Pioneer proprietary silage inoculants have been developed for farmers wishing to improve the quality of the silage they make. Pioneer Brand silage inoculants are used around the world by farmers making a very wide range of silages. Products available for farmers in Scandinavia significantly improve aerobic stability, reduce dry matter losses and enhance silage quality.The traditional products - PIONEER® 1188, PIONEER® 11G22 and PIONEER® 11A44 - are fully complemented by the Fibre Technology product range which includes PIONEER® 11GFT, PIONEER® 11CFT, PIONEER® 11AFT and PIONEER® 11CH4.Fibre Technology products each contain a unique strain of bacteria that produce an enzyme that breaks the bonds that hold lignin together. Silages treated with these new products have shown significantly improved levels of fibre digestibility.

Test The Best®

Farmers are invited to apply for FREE OF CHARGE Test the Best® Pioneer Maize seed. Growing a small area of a new hybrid is a useful way of deciding if it should have a place in your future commercial cropping. To apply simply contact your local Pioneer Dealer and ask to be included in the Test The Best® programme.

Our sincere thanks go to the farmers who have participated in the 2014 PACTS® Trials. Without their enthusiasm, contribution of time and resources the PACTS® Trials and the PACTS® Results Book would not be possible.

The purpose of PACTS® TrialsWhether a particular maize hybrid realises its full genetic potential depends largely upon how well it is adapted to the local environment and how successfully it is managed. The PACTS® trial results are intended to help growers identify which Pioneer hybrids are best suited to their location and circumstances and additionally suggest agronomic techniques that may help maximise yields.

LayoutEach PACTS® trial is established within a commercial crop of maize and is planted and harvested by the host farmer with the assistance of Pioneer staff. All trials are managed as part of the field and the results therefore are reflective of the effect of local weather conditions and actual crop management practices.

A PACTS® trial is generally comprised of between 15 and 20 plots. The plots are planted in identically sized marked areas adjacent to each other across a uniform part of the selected field. Each plot is usually 6 or 8 rows wide and normally 50 metres in length. Typically every fourth strip is the same hybrid and is designated as a Control variety. The Control hybrid provides data that can be used to offset the misleading effect of soil type changes across a trial. In 2014 the Control hybrid was PR39V43.

SitesEach trial site is classified as being Favourable or Less Favourable depending upon the heat accumulation that would be typically measured at that location. The results from individual trials are detailed in this book however due to space restrictions some trials are not shown. The results from trials not shown are available on request. All trials harvested are detailed in the Agronomy Details section of this book.

Competitor HybridsTypically four varieties from competitor plant breeding companies, which have been widely grown commercially in previous years, are included in each PACTS® trial. The competitor hybrids used in 2014 were Kentaurus, Activate, Ambition and Fabregas.

AnalysisRepresentative samples from every PACTS® plot are taken at harvest and immediately oven dried to determine percentage dry matter content. Dried samples are subsequently tested in a Near Infra Red Spectrophotometer (NIRS) machine at a Pioneer laboratory. Results from these tests accurately indicate numerous quality parameters including starch content, whole plant digestibility and Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF). The large number of PACTS® locations and samples tested ensure that the NIRS data generated in PACTS® trials can be used to reliably inform Pioneer growers of maize silage hybrid performance. These NIRS tests are based on a robust NIRS calibration developed by Pioneer following extensive research and development around the world.

Maize Hybrid Selection

Early Maturity PACTS® Trials Historical Results Summary

3

The selection of a particular hybrid for cultivation inevitably varies according to the different criteria a grower has. In many situations yield is of paramount importance but earliness of maturity is usually another critical factor. Other traits such as standing power, silage nutritional quality and end-use intentions e.g. whole plant silage fed to livestock or used for biogas production should be taken into account. No single hybrid will suit all situations.

The following factors are just some of those that can have a major influence on the quantity, quality and value of the maize crop produced.

Growing a maize crop that meets all requirements depends upon selecting a hybrid with the most appropriate genetic potential and then managing that hybrid in a manner that will meet the chosen objectives.

Methane Gas Yield Predictions from PACTS® Trials, 2011-2014

Pioneer for Gas Production

Methane yield figures are determined using a calculation based on the Weissbach formula and actual yield and quality results from PACTS® Trials. This formula predicts gas output based on the value of the key substrates in the forage prior to fermentation. The calculation of Fermentable Organic Dry Matter, or ‘FoTs’, is a key part of the formula and the FoTs is determined using quality data obtained from PACTS® trials results.

* = Competitor Hybrid

Biogas production has increased significantly in recent years. Many biogas plants are fuelled by maize silage. Biogas operators and maize growers have become increasingly interested in the methane yield potential of locally produced maize silage. Pioneer has further analysed the results of their extensive PACTS® trials programme to demonstrate the gas yield potential of their hybrids when grown in these various locations. In addition the proprietary range of silage inoculants offered by Pioneer have been successfully used on forage for biogas production enhancing silage stability and gas productivity.

Maize hybrid selection for biogas production should always begin with a field assessment to determine appropriate hybrid maturity. Hybrid yield and quality should then be checked by considering trial performance such as that shown in the Pioneer methane gas yield prediction table.

Pioneer hybrids recommended for biogas production include P7892, P7905, P7524 and P8200 due to their performance in PACTS® trials over 4 years and multiple locations.

The extensive aerobic stability of silage, whether it is intended for feeding to livestock or as feed for a biogas plant, is an essential first step to achieve in order to minimise the significant and costly dry matter losses that are associated with the heating that follows the development of yeasts and moulds.

Pioneer® 11A44 is comprised of a proprietary strain of Lactobacillus buchneri that has been proven to dramatically reduce heating in a range of silages by suppressing yeasts.

Pioneer® 11CH4 is a specialist biogas product for enhanced silage stability and greater gas performance. In addition to suppressing yeasts, Pioneer® 11CH4 contains a unique strain of bacteria that produces an enzyme that breaks the bonds that hold lignin together, thereby unlocking nutrients and releasing more energy to be utilised in the digester.

The Key Nutritional Quality Criteria of Forage Maize

Why starch is a critical quality criteria to consider when choosing a hybrid.When selecting a forage maize hybrid most growers consider starch content and starch yield as two criteria of importance, along with others such as maturity and area of adaptation. This approach serves farmers well since starch accounts for a disproportionately large percentage of the energy yield and feeding value of maize silage.

The total feeding value of maize silage is best characterised by its content of metabolisable energy (MJ ME/kg DM). Metabolisable energy is determined from what is available to the animal through digestion and therefore is also indicated by digestibility measurements. In typical maize silage most of the energy originates from starch, sugar and the easily digested “plant cell contents”. Additionally it is important to always remember that starch in maize silage is a very useful component of a ruminant’s overall ration simply because it degrades more slowly and therefore poses less of an acidosis risk than when cereal starch is included at an equivalent rate.

Whilst plant cell contents are close to 100% digestible the carbohydrates found in cell walls, usually referred to as the Neutral Detergent Fibre fraction or NDF fraction, (after the analytical technique that measures them) are far less degradable. Typically the NDF fraction is only between 50 and 60% digestible. Dutch data based on in vitro tests of commercialised maize hybrids showed an average NDF digestibility (or NDFd) of 47.8%. The simple conclusion from this is that about 66 – 75% of the digestible energy in maize silage is obtained from starch and sugar.

Despite a limited contribution to energy density, the NDF content of any forage maize is still an important parameter to consider in terms of ruminant nutrition. This is because the slower rate and extent of digestion of the NDF fraction increases the residence time in the rumen and it has been shown that excessively high levels of NDF can limit ruminant feed intake. It has been shown that actual dietary NDF quantity has 3 to 4 times the impact on intake and milk production than does NDFd ( i.e. the digestibility of that NDF). This is why recognised independent nutritionists have made statements such as “this confirms that the first priority [...] is to optimise NDF concentration and then fine-tune the result for differences in NDFd” (D. Mertens, US Dairy Forage Research Center, Madison, 2009).

It is probably helpful at this point to consider that the NDF quantity in maize silage is inversely proportional to the starch level. In other words the higher the starch, the lower the NDF.

The PACTS Book gives values for both the starch content (%) and the whole plant digestibility of hybrids which enables growers to compare the nutritional value of one hybrid against another.
