'Prosper’s average protein content and test weight are similar to 'Faller', and it has high flour extraction. Overall, it has good milling and baking qualities similar to 'Faller'.
'Prosper' possesses an excellent disease resistance package. It is moderately resistant/moderately susceptible to scab. It is resistant to leaf and stem rusts. 'Prosper' was developed by using several breeding methodologies, including the modified pedigree method.
Winter nurseries were used to speed up the process of 'Prosper' development and seed production.
