Carrot variety Nandrin (F1)
Nandrin is an early ripe carrot variety popular in our country from the Dutch producer - the seed campaign Bejo Zaden B.V. (city of Warmenhuisen). From the emergence of mass shoots to harvest, it takes 95 - 105 days. This hybrid is optimal for growing in the Central and Northern regions of Russia.
The leaf rosette is vertical, sturdy and powerful, making harvesting easier. Leaves are dark green in color. The plant is resistant to flowering.
Root crops of the Nandrin variety are leveled, large, cylindrical, smooth, orange-red, with a blunt tip, 15 - 20 cm long, weighing 150 - 250 grams. Belong to the Nantes / Berlicum cultivar. The pulp is sweet, dense in structure, bright orange, with a high content of carotene. The core is thin, practically does not stand out.
These carrots are recommended for fresh consumption and processing. But under optimal storage conditions, it can lie until summer. It is suitable for both home gardens and industrial cultivation.
Advantages of Nandrin carrots: high and stable yield, excellent taste, root crops are resistant to diseases and cracking, have a presentation for a long time.
Sowing seeds is carried out on May 1 - 15. Harvesting falls on August 10 - September 20. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1 - 2 cm according to the 20 × 4 cm scheme. Light, not waterlogged, breathable soils with low acidity are optimal for carrots.
Every year I try to plant this type of carrot. An excellent replacement for the usual Nantes. Root crops are smooth, smooth, appetizing, without a pith. Very sweet. I sow in May, harvest in late September - early October, after the first frost. I grow well on loam, with daily watering, yields are always excellent. The fly is weakly affected, due to the thickening of the plantings and frequent watering, it is sometimes damaged by slugs. Nandrin never cracked. Doesn't match color. There are no ideal storage conditions, so I cut / grate and freeze almost half of it: in winter you no longer need to fiddle with it when cooking.
