CHANTANE 5

Chantenay carrot is a conical-root vegetable with bright orange color and smooth surface. The fruits vary in length from 14 to 22 cm, and the shoulder diameter ranges from 4 to 6 cm. This variety is distinguished by a small core, high sugar content, and carotene content, which ensures excellent taste qualities and nutritional value. The roots do not crack, do not deform, and maintain their properties throughout the storage period. Due to these characteristics, Chantenay carrot is widely used in home cooking, processing, canning, and freezing.

The maturation period of the variety varies depending on the form: from early varieties with a period of 75-95 days to late varieties reaching 120-130 days. Carrot is well adapted to various soils and climatic conditions, including heavy soils and different growing regions. To achieve high yields, which can range from 5 to 9 kg per square meter, it is important to observe crop rotation, ensure timely watering, thinning, and applying root feeding. Seeds are characterized by good and uniform germination, which with proper preparation can reach 85-87%.

The variety has high resistance to diseases and winter hardiness, which allows growing it in both southern and northern regions. The roots are juicy and sweet in taste with a pleasant aroma. Due to the smooth surface and strength of the fruits, Chantenay carrot withstands transportation over long distances well. Various preparations are applied to protect plants, which contributes to maintaining the health of the culture and stable yields.
