Carrot variety Coral is a late-maturing, high-yielding table variety intended for cultivation in open ground. The vegetation period from germination to technical maturity ranges from 130 to 150 days, ensuring the possibility of obtaining a high-quality harvest over an extended season. The roots have a conical shape with a pointed tip, measuring 18 to 25 cm in length and 60 to 180 g in weight. Their color varies from dark orange to orange-red, giving the carrots an attractive appearance.
The flesh of the roots is juicy, tender, and dense, possessing good flavor qualities. The variety is resistant to rotting, allowing the Coral carrots to be used not only for fresh consumption but also for processing, canning, and long-term winter storage. The yield of this variety can reach 3.8–9 kg per square meter, making it profitable for cultivation both in private gardens and for commercial purposes.
For sowing Coral carrots, it is recommended to use high-quality seeds from European breeding, which retain germination and viability until 2026. Seeds germinate at a temperature of +3°C, while optimal growth conditions are within the range of +18°C to +25°C. Sowing can be conducted in three periods: early spring, summer, and fall. The recommended planting density requires a row spacing of no less than 15 cm, seed spacing of no less than 2 cm, and planting depth of 2–3 cm. Harvesting is conducted in several stages, allowing for the most effective utilization of the variety's potential.
