Prophet / Profit

Agrotechnical Potential of Profit Pea

Limagrain’s French breeding program in the grain pea segment focuses on yield stability under intensive farming. Profit is the result of extensive collaboration between world-class originators (Limagrain, Nickerson Zwaan, Hazera Seeds, and Advanta Seeds), designed for maximum adaptation to mechanized harvesting. A key feature of this hybrid is its superior resistance to lodging, which is essential for growers looking to minimize harvest losses during direct combining.

Biological Protection and Productivity

Profit’s immune profile is one of the strongest in its class. Its integrated genetic defense effectively mitigates risks from common pathogens:

• Fungicidal Barrier: The plant exhibits high resistance to Ascochyta blight, rust, Fusarium, and powdery mildew. Notably, its resistance to downy mildew (Peronospora) allows for reduced pesticide usage during early development stages.
• Rot Control: A robust root system and stalk morphology prevent the development of root and stem rots, even in high-moisture conditions.

With a vegetation period of 90-100 days, Profit is classified as a mid-early variety, offering versatility in crop rotation planning. The medium-height stalk structure holds pods at an optimal level for easy combine header entry.

Grain Technical Characteristics

Regarding quality and commodity value, Profit delivers consistent performance. A 1000-seed weight of 260-280 grams ensures a high turnout of marketable grain. With a protein content of 22-24%, this variety is highly sought after for both animal feed production and the food industry.

Practical Conclusion: Choosing Profit is a strategic decision for those requiring a predictable yield with minimal lodging risks and high-quality grain parameters.
