Carrot volcano f1 1,6-1,8 Vilseed

• vegetation period approx. 140-150 days
• new variety recommended for the fresh market and long-term storage (high resistance to cavity spot (Pythium)), tolerating moderate moisture conditions
• cylindrical roots, very smooth, crack resistant, with high resistance to silvering (after washing), cortex and core intensively coloured
• foliage with very high disease tolerance; vigorous; remains on plants even in delayed harvest dates allowing mechanical harvesting

Variety recommended for producers expecting very high total and marketable yield of long, well-shaped roots. Roots do not tend to expose or green the crown until the end of the vegetation period – producers paid special attention to this feature, stating directly that this variety "pulls itself" into the ground. Very high crack resistance combined with smoothness allows fully mechanical harvesting and preparation for sale – additionally it does not silver after washing, thus maintaining freshness and an attractive appearance for traders and consumers for a long time. High tolerance to variable cultivation conditions is also noted – soil, moisture, stresses such as drought, high temperatures or prolonged rainfall. Achieves very high yields on most sites. Sowing rate: for storage – 1,3-1,5mln seeds per ha and for sale during the vegetation period – 1,0 – 1,3ml/ha. Volcano has an ideal vegetation period for varieties for long-term storage. April sowing date allows the best emergence and obtaining very high yield in October, which coincides with the optimal carrot harvest period for storage. The variety does not require high fertilisation – moderate nitrogen fertilisation up to 120mg N/dm3 is recommended.
