Carrot SV 3118 DC

SV 3118 DC F1 carrots are a super-early, high-yielding hybrid of the Shantane sortotype with a vegetation period ranging from 85 to 95 days. The plants are powerful, featuring a well-leafed semi-spreading leaf rosette of dark green color, characterized by toughness and strength, which enables mechanized harvesting. The root crops have a cylindrical or conical shape with a blunt tip, measuring 15-18 cm in length and 4-5 cm in diameter, with a smooth surface and uniform structure. The root crops exhibit a rich orange-red coloration, with an orange core and peel.

The hybrid is distinguished by its excellent taste qualities, containing 13.2% to 14.5% dry matter and a total sugar content of 7.3-8.3%. It is resistant to breakage, cracking, bolting, and flowering, and does not form green shoulders, which increases the yield of marketable produce to 85-92%. Due to these characteristics, SV 3118 DC F1 carrots are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary use, juice processing, canning, freezing, and long-term winter storage.

The recommended sowing rate is 1.0-1.5 million seeds per hectare, which may vary depending on the purpose of cultivation. This hybrid combines high yield, excellent marketable and taste qualities, as well as the convenience of mechanized harvesting, making it an attractive choice for farmers and vegetable producers.
