Curacao

Carrot Curaçao F1 — ultra-early Santan-type hybrid developed by Bejo Zaden. This variety is distinguished by high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, allowing it to be grown throughout Ukraine. The vegetative period is approximately 95-105 days, ensuring an early harvest. The roots have a characteristic conical shape with a rounded or blunt tip, ranging from 13 to 18 cm in length and 4-5 cm in diameter. Their rich, bright orange color and uniformity without green 'shoulders' make the carrot attractive for fresh market and home use.

Curaçao F1 fruits possess excellent taste qualities, juiciness, and high juice content, making them versatile for various applications. The carrot is suitable for canning, freezing, making puree, juices, and salads. Thanks to resistance to cracking and bolting, the roots maintain marketable appearance during harvesting and transportation, and are well-tolerant of washing and packaging. The weight of one root ranges from 120 to 180 grams, which facilitates ease of use and sale.

To achieve maximum yield, which can reach 5-7 kg per square meter with proper care, it is recommended to practice crop rotation, loosen and moisten the soil, and control weeds and pests. The Curaçao hybrid is characterized by stress resistance and plasticity to agrotechnical conditions, making it a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners seeking to obtain a high-quality and early carrot harvest.
