Long photoperiod prevents heading out until late Sept. in northern U.S.
Grows a bit slower at beginning of the season than non-PPS hybrids but increases growth rate later; about 6.5’ high at end of season
Shorter internodes than standard photoperiods; very leafy with a high leafto-stem ratio
Stands better than many other PPS hybrids
Typically used of haylage or silage, but can be grazed; PPS allows for a longer grazing period before plants head out, or later, single-cut silage harvest
Retains nutritional quality for a wide window of harvest
Can postpone silage harvest up to 50”- 80”; wilt before ensiling or frost (65% moisture is best harvest moisture)
Plant will gain height at the end of the season for mechanical harvest
