Trafford F1 carrot is a late-maturing, high-yielding hybrid of the Flakke type, selected by Dutch breeders, suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The vegetative period is approximately 130-140 days, enabling a stable harvest with moderate watering, soil loosening, and fertilization. The hybrid is resistant to frost, drought, and diseases such as alternaria, powdery mildew, and cercospora, significantly simplifying care and enhancing cultivation reliability.
The roots of Trafford F1 carrots are cylindrical or conical, measuring 16-18 cm in length and weighing 200-250 grams. They feature a rich orange color without green "shoulders" or prominent core. The flesh is dense, juicy, and very sweet due to high sugar, carotene, vitamin, and beneficial micronutrient content. The fruits are resistant to cracking and deformation, well-suited for mechanized harvesting, transportation, and long-term storage.
The Trafford F1 hybrid is versatile in use: it is suitable for fresh market sales as well as various processing methods, including juice production, puree, canning, freezing, and drying. The recommended sowing rate is 0.8-1.0 million seeds per hectare, achieving a potential yield of up to 60 tons per hectare. Thanks to its excellent taste and quality characteristics, as well as high resistance to adverse factors, Trafford F1 carrot is a profitable choice for farmers and vegetable producers.
