The roots of Niland carrots have a cylindrical shape with a blunt tip, length of 18-24 cm, diameter of 2-3 cm, and average weight of 150-200 grams.

The foliage is lush, strong, and healthy, providing resistance to mechanical damage during harvest.

Niland F1 variety exhibits high resistance to cracking, bolting, cercosporosis, and black spot, making it a reliable choice for long-term storage and transportation over long distances.
