P8201 has given extremely 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 in England. 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 73.1% in open PACTS trials. P8201 penetrates film easily.
