Celery Maksimus

Technical Profile of Celeriac "Maximus"

The "Maximus" variety, developed by the "Evro-Semena" brand, is a result of selective breeding focused on high-yield root celery. The core engineering objective achieved by the originators, Yuri Tarasov and the Evro-Semena team, was to develop a robust root system while maintaining high vegetative growth rates within temperate climate conditions.

Agrotechnical Specs and Resistance

This variety belongs to the mid-late maturity group. The period from seedling emergence to physiological maturity is 140–160 days. This time frame allows the plant to accumulate sufficient dry matter and sugars for long-term storage potential.

• Phytosanitary Barrier: The genetics of "Maximus" display strong resistance to Septoria leaf spot, a disease that frequently compromises the foliage, thereby reducing photosynthetic efficiency.
• Pathogen Defense: The plant features built-in immunity against Mycosphaerella spot and brown spot. This effectively reduces the necessity for intensive fungicide applications, which is critical for the overall quality and safety of the produce.

As a root-type variety, the plant's metabolic resources are primarily directed toward the development of a dense, massive underground organ. When cultivated with proper agrotechnical management, the root attains excellent market quality, maintaining a firm, snow-white interior without hollow centers. Precise irrigation and adherence to sowing timelines allow for the full realization of the yield potential envisioned by the Evro-Semena breeding program.
