Soybean Karra

Canadian Genetics in the Field

The «Karra» soybean variety from Semences Prograin represents a culmination of targeted breeding efforts by Canadian experts Alain and Andre Letourneau. This variety balances high yield potential with exceptional agronomic efficiency, making it a preferred choice for producers focused on stable quality and harvest performance.

Key Characteristics and Adaptation

As a mid-season variety with a vegetation period of 110–115 days, Karra effectively utilizes available moisture, allowing for efficient planning of the harvesting season. Its morphological structure is tailored for mechanical harvesting efficiency:

• Protein content: 42–43 %.
• Oil content: 21–22 %.
• Plant height: 85–95 cm.
• Lower pod height: 12–15 cm.

The 12–15 cm pod clearance is a standout feature, significantly reducing harvest losses and ensuring that the combine header can operate at an ideal angle. The 95 cm stem height provides sufficient structural integrity, minimizing lodging risks even in high-density planting environments.

Market Positioning

Semences Prograin has established itself as a leader in soybean genetics, and the Karra variety stands out in their portfolio for its biochemical consistency. With protein and oil profiles that meet modern processing standards, this variety is highly sought after for both domestic feed production and export markets. For an agronomist, Karra offers predictability and reliability. It does not demand extreme technical interventions, performing consistently when standard agronomic practices are followed. Choosing Karra means investing in proven Canadian genetics designed to deliver consistent results under a variety of field conditions.
