Liana

The 'Liana' carrot is a mid-season first-generation hybrid developed by LLC 'AGRPLANETA' and recommended for cultivation in the Central-Black-Earth region. This variety features cylindrical roots with blunt tips, belonging to the Nantes type. The leaves are semi-spreading, of medium length, green in color, and finely cut. The roots have an orange core and skin, possess good taste qualities, and contain up to 24.6 mg of carotene per 100 g of raw material, ensuring high nutritional value.

Liana is characterized by high yields, ranging from 292 to 498 centners per hectare, which exceeds the standard varieties Rogneda and Vitamin 6 by 50-90 centners. The maximum recorded yield reached 655 centners per hectare. Root mass ranges from 89 to 170 grams, with dry matter content between 12.7-15.8% and total sugar content of 5.7-7.8%. Marketable yield reaches 77-94%, indicating high quality and uniformity of the harvest.

The Liana variety belongs to the Fladgate type and features a late maturity period of approximately 130 days. It is specifically designed for long-term storage, allowing roots to retain freshness and juiciness through the winter and spring. The carrots are uniform, large (up to 28 cm in length and 250-350 g in weight), bright red-orange in color, almost coreless, making them particularly appealing to consumers. The roots do not crack in the field and do not break during harvesting, facilitating collection. Sowing is recommended in late May to early June to obtain firmer and crunchier roots harvested before the onset of frost.
