Carrot Katrin is a medium-late variety with a vegetation period of 120-125 days, characterized by conical roots 11-14 cm long and 2.1-3.4 cm in diameter. The roots have a blunt tip, smooth surface, and a deep orange color both externally and internally, indicating high carotene content. The core of the roots is almost absent, and the weight of a single root ranges from 145 to 215 grams. The plant's foliage is upright, strong, and dark green, with good disease resistance.
The Katrin variety exhibits high resistance to diseases such as alternaria, false powdery mildew, and corkiness, as well as heat tolerance and resistance to root cracking. These qualities make this carrot especially valuable for cultivation in areas with heavy soils and hot climates. The roots slightly protrude from the soil, facilitating harvest and reducing losses during transport.
Carrot Katrin has dense, very juicy, and sweet flesh with excellent flavor qualities due to high sugar and dry matter content. The variety is suitable for fresh consumption as well as for processing, canning, freezing, and long-term storage, allowing the harvest to be preserved until the next season. The yield of this variety ranges from 3.6 to 5.0 kg per square meter, making it a profitable and reliable choice for various agricultural conditions.
