Speedo / Spido

Speedo F1 Carrot — an early and high-yielding hybrid of the Nantes type, developed by Hazera from the Netherlands. The vegetative period is 80-90 days, allowing for early harvests for fresh markets and processing. Plants are vigorous with vertically oriented dark green foliage, well-attached to the root. The hybrid exhibits high germination rates and resistance to a broad spectrum of diseases and pests, making it low-maintenance and easy to cultivate.

Speedo carrot roots have cylindrical or conical shapes with a fine tip, reaching 18-22 cm in length and 3-4 cm in diameter. They display a vibrant orange color, smooth and uniform surface, without core. Thanks to their excellent taste and high marketability, carrots are suitable for fresh consumption, processing, washing, and retail bunch sales. The hybrid also has good transportability and can be stored up to 4 months.

Recommended sowing rate is 0.6-0.8 million seeds per hectare, with yields reaching 4.5-6 kg per square meter. To enhance productivity, the manufacturer recommends thinning seedlings and applying mineral fertilizers. Speedo F1 can be successfully grown both in open and protected soil, making it a versatile and popular choice among vegetable growers.
