What are the best varieties of carrots?

There are a lot of varieties and hybrids of carrots, so first, let's decide for what purposes carrots are grown on your site. If for sale, then of course the most important parameters will be the commercial qualities of carrots, and this is the appearance, keeping quality and transportability. In this case, it is necessary to sow varieties and hybrids of foreign selection, since they are bred taking into account, first of all, the appearance of carrots - smooth in length and diameter, smooth roots. But their taste and useful qualities are lower than domestic varieties.

Russian varieties and hybrids of carrots, of course, are not so beautiful and even, but in terms of yield they are in no way inferior to foreign ones, and in taste, carotene content in them, and often in keeping quality, they are significantly superior.

According to the ripening period, all carrot varieties can be conditionally divided into three groups. In early ripening varieties, 85-100 days pass from germination to harvesting of root crops, in mid-ripening varieties - from 105 to 120 days, and in late-ripening varieties - 125 days or more. Which variety you need, you will choose over time yourself.

Varieties for regions

Manufacturers rarely indicate regional and climatic features of the carrot variety on the packaging. There is also little information on the Internet about the regional preferences of a particular variety. To the aid of gardeners and truck farmers comes "State Sort Commission of the Russian Federation" (Federal State Budgetary Institution "State Commission of the Russian Federation
on testing and protection of breeding achievements ")... I was very lucky to have stumbled upon their website while preparing this article. Because this very State Sorting Commission conducts selection tests and draws up recommendations on the use of varieties of the State Register in a particular region on their basis.
