Bermuda

Bermuda F1 carrot is a mid-early hybrid of the Nantes/Berlikum type, developed by the Dutch breeding company Bejo Zaden. The maturation period is approximately 104 days from sowing, allowing for harvest within relatively short timeframes. The roots are conical in shape, have a smooth surface, and are a vibrant orange color with uniform internal coloring. The average length of the roots ranges from 16 to 18 cm, and the weight of a single carrot ranges from 120 to 300 grams. There are approximately 21 mg of carotene and 8% sugar in 100 grams, ensuring excellent taste qualities.

The hybrid is characterized by high germination rate and uniform seedling emergence; seeds should be sown at a rate of 0.8-1.2 million per hectare. Bermuda F1 carrot adapts well to various climatic conditions and is primarily grown in open ground on sandy, well-heated soils. A key condition for successful cultivation is crop rotation, moisture control, and regular thinning. The hybrid is sensitive to overwatering but resistant to diseases such as cercospora, alternaria, and black spot.

The fruits of Bermuda F1 carrot maintain their market appearance and taste quality for a long time, making them popular for fresh consumption, processing, and preservation. The carrot is suitable for preparing fresh salads, smoothies, and other culinary dishes. Due to its resistance to deformation and greening, as well as suitability for mechanized harvesting, the hybrid is widely used in commercial vegetable farming and processing industries.
