Newcastle F1

Newcastle F1 carrot is a medium-maturing hybrid of the Nantes type, developed by the Dutch breeding company Bejo Zaden. This variety is resistant to weather conditions and soil types, allowing successful cultivation in various regions. The maturation period is approximately 110-112 days, after which you can harvest crops weighing 100 to 200 grams and measuring 20-22 cm in length. The roots are cylindrical with blunt tips, bright orange core and skin, indicating high carotene content — up to 22.7 mg per 100 g of raw material. Sugar content reaches 7.2%, and dry matter content — 12%, ensuring excellent taste qualities.

Newcastle F1 demonstrates high market yield, reaching 430-536 centners per hectare, which is 70-140 centners higher than the standard Nantes 4, with a maximum yield of 1210 centners per hectare. The market product output is 88-94%, making this hybrid profitable for commercial cultivation. The leaf rosette is semi-spreading, leaves are of medium length, medium to dark green, and moderately dissected. Carrots are suitable for mechanical harvesting, as well as washing and peeling, simplifying preparation for sale and processing.

This hybrid is versatile in application: it is cultivated for fresh markets, culinary use, canning, freezing, as well as for processing into juices and purées. The roots can be stored for 4-6 months in a dark, dry place, allowing their use during winter. Newcastle F1 carrot seeds are suitable for planting both in open ground and under cover, expanding cultivation possibilities. Seeds comply with declared characteristics, ensuring this variety is a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners.
