Data is based on average of 2015 comparisons made in Minnesota and Wisconsin through 10/14/2015. Comparisons are against any number of products of the indicated competitor brand, unless otherwise stated, and within +/- 5 CRM of the competitive brand. Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Individual results may vary. Multi-year and multi-location data are a better predictor of future performance. DO NOT USE THIS OR ANY OTHER DATA FROM A LIMITED NUMBER OF TRIALS AS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN PRODUCT SELECTION. Refer to www.pioneer.com/products or contact a Pioneer sales representative or authorized dealer for the latest and complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer ® brand product. ¹All Pioneer products are hybrids unless designated with AM1, AM, AMT, AMRW, AMX and AMXT, in which case they are brands.

Silage CRM: Silage Comparative Relative Maturity. With no industry standard for silage maturity, comparing maturity and harvest moisture across various companies’ cornfor-silage hybrids can be difficult. Pioneer silage CRM ratings provide a relative comparison among Pioneer hybrids of rates at which hybrids reach harvestable whole plant moistures. It is on the same scale as the CRM rating provided for grain-corn hybrids and does not represent actual days from planting or emergence to harvest moisture or half milkline. Tons/Acre (35% DM): whole plant yield adjusted to 35% dry matter. % DM: percent dry matter of whole plant at harvest. % Starch: Percent starch (DM basis) in the whole plant. % Fib Dig (24-hr): percent degradable neutral detergent fiber (as a percent of total NDF, DM basis) in whole-plant samples in a 24-hour period. Lbs Milk/Acre: pounds of milk per acre on a dry matter basis based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 study, utilizing silage yield, nutrient content and digestibility. Lbs Milk/Ton: pounds of milk per ton of silage on a dry matter basis based on University of Wisconsin MILK2006 study, utilizing silage nutrient content and digestibility. Caution should be used when making hybrid decisions based on single/limited plot comparisons. A minimum of 20 side-by-side hybrid comparisons is required for valid yield and nutritional comparisons.
