yield of marketable products 75-90%;
contains 10.5% dry matter, of which 6% total sugars;
provitamin A – 10 mg per 100 g of raw material.

Both varieties produce juicy root vegetables that are suitable for processing into juices, drying and fresh consumption.

Main characteristics of the Vita Longa variety and the Bangor F₁ hybrid:

During mechanized harvesting, the leaf petioles of this carrot are not damaged.

The variety and hybrid are characterized by high resistance to bacterial diseases.

The main advantages and disadvantages of Vita Long and Bangor F1

The root crop of the Vita Longa variety has a thin core - its diameter of the total diameter is less than 30%. Root crops protrude slightly above the soil surface. The variety is highly resistant to brown leaf spot.

Carrot Vita Longa

Bangor F₁ forms smooth, uniform root crops that are equal in length . It is characterized by 100% keeping quality during long-term storage. Over a large feeding area, it grows root crops weighing 400-500 g.

The variety and hybrid have persistent resistance to greening of root crops . Gardeners did not identify any shortcomings when growing them.

Medium varieties of Holland

The ripening period of these carrot varieties ranges from 80–115 days after germination, and the most famous varietal varieties of root crops of Dutch selection include the Campo and Romos varieties.

The fruits of this carrot variety are recommended for long-term storage, canning and even freezing, being characterized by high juiciness and sweetness. It will be possible to harvest the crop 100–110 days after germination, but it is not always possible to achieve smooth ripening. The above-ground part of the crop is erect, voluminous, with long, dark green, finely dissected leaves.

Root crops are cylindrical in shape, deep orange in color, with a slight bumpiness of the surface cover. The length of one Kampo carrot is 20 cm, and its weight ranges from 100–150 g. The main advantages of the carrots described are suitability for processing, the possibility of mechanical harvesting, resistance to arrows, good shelf life of the harvested crop, and suitability for dietary nutrition.

A high-yielding variety of medium ripening, harvesting is carried out approximately 110–120 days after seedlings emerge. When ripe, all root vegetables are distinguished by a smooth surface, a pointed tip and a length of 23 cm with a weight of about 250 g. Harvesting is very simple, since it is easily removed from the soil and is practically not damaged during further transportation.

The outer color of the root vegetables is simply orange, but the pulp inside is richer and very juicy. 1 m² of plantings usually brings up to 6.5 kg of harvest, which on average is stored for up to 6–8 months (in the cellar). Carrots are suitable for winter sowing, starting at the end of October - however, do not forget that this variety does not tolerate waterlogging and requires constant loosening of the soil on the site.

Which varieties of carrots for open ground to choose for the Moscow region

The Moscow region is a central region of Russia, with its own climatic conditions: it has a milder winter, short in duration, and the opportunity to grow crops more in open ground than in a greenhouse.

Accordingly, varieties of garden plants for cultivation in this region were specially bred. Carrots are no exception.

Artek

The variety is quite old and has proven itself well. Its root crop has an elongated cylindrical shape and a red-orange color. The pulp is orange. The length of carrots is about 15 cm and the weight is up to 130 g. The yield is high, so during industrial cultivation, up to 650 centners of carrots can be harvested from one hectare.

Resistant to white rot, but may be susceptible to gray rot during storage.

Bangor

Dutch variety. The root crop is cylindrical in shape, the length can be from 16 to 20 cm. The weight reaches from 120 to 200 g. In terms of yield, it is in no way inferior to the previous variety - Artek.

Suitable for long-term storage.

Caramel

It got its name because of its taste. The fruits are very sweet and contain a lot of saccharides. The shape of carrots is smooth, even, and orange in color. Early ripening, soon after planting you will be able to taste the first harvest. Well suited for baby and diet food. Can be used for making salads and juices.

Carotel Parisian

The variety is early ripening. Ripens in 65-85 days. It gained its popularity due to its juiciness, small size and unusual shape, somewhat reminiscent of radishes. The root crop is round in shape, weighing from 30 to 60 g. The color of the fruit is orange. Productivity from 3.5 to 6 kg per square meter.

Used fresh and for processing. Due to its small size it is well suited for holistic canning.

Alyonka

The variety is early ripening. Suitable for various temperate regions. The root crop forms quite quickly, about three months. Its shape is cone-shaped, about 16 cm long.

Root vegetables are not subject to cracking and are well stored. Used exclusively fresh.

Moscow late

Almost the latest variety that is grown in the Moscow region. Ripening occurs after 150 days. The size of the fruit is 15-17 cm, the yield is from 4.5 to 6.5 per square meter.

Sowing is most often done before winter. As a result, the period for the emergence and growth of spring shoots is reduced, which also reduces the time until the harvest appears.

Resistant to low temperatures and many diseases. Well suited for storage, which can last up to 9 months.

Description of the hybrid

The Bangor F1 carrot variety was developed by the Dutch breeding company Bejo. According to the external description, the hybrid is classified as the “Berlicum” variety, since the root crop has a cylindrical shape with a rounded tip. Its length is in the range of 16-20 cm, weight is 120-200 g. In cross section, the diameter of the root crop is 3-5 mm. You can evaluate the external qualities of carrots of the “Bangor F1” variety in the photo below.

100 g of Bangor F1 carrots contain:

In addition to the main substances, carrots contain a complex of vitamins and microelements: B vitamins, panthethonic and ascorbic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, fatty and essential oils.

The microelement composition affects the external and taste qualities of the root crop. Thus, a relatively high amount of carotene gives the root vegetable an orange-red color. The pulp of Bangor F1 carrots is very juicy, sweet, and moderately dense. The root crop of this variety is used in the preparation of fresh vegetable salads, canning, the production of baby and dietary food, and multi-vitamin juices.

Features of growing carrots

After the need to ensure proper sowing, the next problem when growing carrots is pests and diseases. In the middle zone, the most harmful are carrot flies and flea beetles. Dangerous diseases include Alternaria, Phoma, bacteriosis, Rhizoctonia, and brown spot. During winter storage, white rot and phomosis most often develop. To combat carrot fly, it is recommended to plant together with onions, thinning only in the evening, and early sowing. Crop rotation helps reduce the development of diseases.

The third problem is obtaining gnarled root vegetables. It is possible to achieve high marketability of root crops only on loose and structured soil.

The fourth problem with carrots is bland roots with pale-colored flesh. The taste of root vegetables depends not so much on the variety as on the growing conditions. To increase sugar content, experienced vegetable growers advise spraying plantings during the growing season with microelements (primarily boron and copper) and irrigating with humates. The color of root crops is determined by the amount of accumulated carotene. If the low carotene content is not a varietal feature (as in yellow-fruited varieties), then the longer the growing season, the more carotene the plant manages to accumulate.

Everyone loves carrots. Not only to eat, but also to grow. This biennial plant is considered a highly profitable vegetable crop. Good productivity allows you to grow root crops for freshly harvested consumption, freezing, processing, preparation, canning and storage. Many varieties do not lose their nutritional value and taste until early spring. In recent years, gardeners have given preference to carrot seeds of Dutch selection.

Dutch breeders are considered one of the best producers of vegetable crops. Seeds of well-known brands are distinguished by their versatility, fast and high-quality germination, and vegetables:

high productivity;
disease resistance;
excellent taste;
high quality trade dress.

Carrot Bangor F1

For cultivation in domestic latitudes, farmers are offered various varieties and hybrids of carrots, including foreign selection. Moreover, hybrids obtained by crossing two varieties combine the best qualities of their ancestors. Thus, some of them have amazing taste and external characteristics, high resistance to diseases, cold, and suitability for long-term storage. One of the best hybrids is the Bangor F1 carrot. The main characteristics of this variety, taste and external description and photo of the root crop are given in the article.

Description of the hybrid

100 g of Bangor F1 carrots contain:

10.5% dry matter;
6% total sugar;
10 mg carotene.

In addition to the main substances, carrots contain a complex of vitamins and microelements: B vitamins, panthethonic and ascorbic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, fatty and essential oils.

Agricultural technology

The variety "Bangor F1" is zoned for the Central region of Russia. It is recommended to sow it in April, when the likelihood of frosts and prolonged cold spells has passed. Loose sandy loams and light loams are best suited for cultivating vegetables. The required soil composition can be prepared by mixing the soil available on the land plot with sand, humus, and peat. Sawdust treated with urea should be added to heavy clay. The depth of the arable layer for growing the Bangor F1 variety must be at least 25 cm.

Carrot seeds should be sown in rows. The distance between them should be at least 15 cm. It is recommended to maintain a 4 cm interval between seeds in the same row. To maintain the required distance, it is recommended to use special tapes with seeds or glue them yourself onto paper analogues. If the required intervals are not observed, it is necessary to thin out the carrots 2 weeks after emergence. The depth of planting the seed should be 1-2 cm.

During the growing process, the crop requires systematic watering. In this case, the depth of soil saturation should be greater than the length of the root crop. All necessary fertilizers should be added to the soil in the fall, which will eliminate the need for additional fertilizing. To combat carrot flies (if necessary), during the cultivation process, you can treat with ash, tobacco dust, wormwood, or special agrochemicals. By watching the video you can learn in detail about the agrotechnical features of growing carrots:

Under favorable growing conditions, carrots of the Bangor F1 variety ripen 110 days after sowing the seed. The crop yield largely depends on the nutritional value of the soil, compliance with cultivation rules and can vary from 5 to 7 kg/m2.

Agricultural technology

Important! To grow carrots, you need to choose a plot of land that is well lit by the sun.

We ask a specialist’s opinion about Bangor F1 and Baltimore F1 carrots

Farmer Anatoly Lobko told a KLM correspondent how carrots are saved on farms in the Brest region, what seeds make agronomists happy, and what is the secret of a successful harvest.

– Tell us what kind of farm you represent, and why you chose the profession of an agronomist, how did you start your career?

– My name is Anatoly Arkadyevich, I represent the farm “Lobko A.A.” Luninetsky district of the Brest region, where I work with my son, between us we have 80 hectares. It so happened that at first I worked on a collective farm, but I always wanted independence. So, since 1999, for 18 years now, I have been farming. I like this business, because here you can achieve success and show what you are capable of.

– What varieties and hybrids of the Bejo Zaden selection do you sow? Which ones perform well and which ones not so well?

– My farm is small – 35 hectares. We mainly grow vegetables and grains; we recently started growing berries, in particular strawberries. We sow hybrids and varieties of carrots, beets, cabbage, and potatoes. We grow carrots on 30 hectares, and approximately 90% are seeds of Bejo Zaden selection, including Bangor F1, Baltimore F1, Belgrade F1, Nigel F1 and others. On 2 hectares we plant 2 hybrids of table beets - Vodan F1 and Pablo F1, excellent varieties, we have been working with them for many years, probably for 10 years now we have been choosing mainly varieties from Bejo Zaden.

– Do you mainly grow vegetables for the fresh market or for storage?

– Now we mainly send Belgrade F1 to Russia, we leave Pablo F1 for storage. The Nerac F1 hybrid is used for washing, and we most often sell it in the spring. All the varieties that I have named are well stored, there are no problems with them, therefore they can be both stored and immediately sold to the fresh market.

– Tell me, what difficulties arise during work, what do you need to keep an eye on, what do you need to keep up with?

– We grow carrots on peat bogs so that the harvest is good, first of all, it is important how well the soil is fed, it is also necessary to choose the right varieties for each site, because some varieties work well for one site, and others for another. In this regard, we already have certain skills, and so far everything seems to be working out. – Do you have your own proprietary secret for a good and large harvest?

– Do you have your own proprietary secret for a good and large harvest?

– Do everything on time and according to technology, put your soul into it, and then everything will work out. This year, for example, the weather was very extreme, temperature changes, and now diseases have appeared. There were problems where we treated them with fungicides at the wrong time, but we managed to prevent them, so we need to carefully monitor the plant development cycle.

Reviews of carrots Vita Longa and Bangor F₁

Gardeners leave positive reviews about Bangor F1 and Vita Longa carrots.

Nina, Pskov : “I’ve been planting the Vita Longa variety for several years. I sow at the end of May in furrows. I immediately mulch with peat and cover with spunbond. If I use film, I leave a gap of 10-15 cm between the bed and the shelter so that the crops do not suffocate. The shoots appear early and the soil does not dry out.”

Dmitry, Saratov : “Bangor F₁ was recommended by a neighbor in the country. The carrots turn out excellent - large, juicy, and can be stored all winter. I advise you not to keep it in the ground. If you are late with cleaning, it becomes covered with cracks and loses its taste.”

Features of planting and growing

You can count on a bountiful harvest only if you follow agrotechnical rules. First of all, you should correctly select and prepare the site for planting carrots and seeding material, and then provide the plants with proper care.

Preparing for landing

Preparing seeds improves their germination and helps protect plants from diseases.

There are several ways to process seed:

soak for a day in water heated to +30°C;
dilute 1 tbsp in warm water. l. ash, wet the seeds with the resulting solution, then rinse them, wrap them in cloth and place them on the refrigerator shelf for 48 hours;
wrap the seeds in cotton cloth, dip them in water heated to +50°C for 2-3 minutes, and then place them in cold water to cool.

If you have a bubbler, the seed can be placed in a solution of growth stimulants (Epin, Silk) with oxygen saturation for 20 hours.

The site is prepared in the fall. The soil is dug up and fertilizers are added at the rate of 30 g of superphosphate, 15 g of potassium, 20 g of nitrogen and 2-3 kg of humus per 1 m². If these requirements are met in the spring, the ground is only trimmed with a rake.

A TINY WAY TO PLANT CARROTS WITHOUT THINING JUICY CARROTS

Soil requirements

Carrots prefer loose, fertile soil with good aeration, moisture permeability and a neutral acidity level (pH 6-7) - loam, sandstone, peat soil.

Predecessors

Compliance with the rules of crop rotation is one of the conditions for obtaining a high-quality harvest. The best predecessors of Cascade F1 are potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage, garlic, tomatoes, onions, melons and legumes.

Dates, scheme and rules of planting

The timing of sowing seeds varies depending on climatic conditions and the purpose of using the crop. Some gardeners sow before winter in order to harvest ripe vegetables as early as possible.

Most often, planting is carried out in the spring, when the daytime temperature is +15...+18°C, and the soil warms up to +5...+7°C.

Planting pattern:

Form beds at a distance of at least 15 cm from each other.
Make furrows in them for sowing seeds.
Plant the seeds, maintaining a distance between them of 4-5 cm and deepening them by 1-2 cm.
Sprinkle the seeds with soil.

Features of cultivation

To plant Cascade F1 carrots, choose a flat, well-lit area where water does not accumulate after rain or melting snow.

If the soil is too heavy, add sawdust soaked in a urea solution (1 bucket per 1 m²), and lime, ash and dolomite flour are used to deoxidize the soil.

Nuances of care

This hybrid does not require care, but, like other crops, it needs proper watering, fertilizing and loosening of the soil.

Watering mode

Cascade F1 requires regular moderate watering. Lack of moisture causes poor growth, lethargy and bitterness in the taste of root vegetables, and excessive moisture leads to cracking of vegetables and growth of tops. They focus on the condition of the soil - it should always be moistened to a depth of 30 cm.

On average, watering is carried out once a week. The water consumption is initially 3 liters per 1 m², and after the second thinning – 10 liters per 1 m². In conditions of drought or active crop growth, the volume of water per 1 m² is increased to 20 liters.

Approximately 1.5-2 months before harvesting, plants are watered once every 10-14 days (10 liters of water per 1 m²), two weeks before harvesting, watering is stopped.

Thinning and weed control

It is necessary to promptly remove weeds from between rows so that they do not deplete the soil and interfere with the development of root crops.

To avoid deformation of the carrots, the seedlings are thinned out twice:

when 3 leaves appear on the plants (about 3-4 weeks after sowing the seeds), leaving a gap of 2-2.5 cm between shoots;
after 3 weeks - the distance between the root crops should be 4.5-5 cm.

Thinning is carried out in the evening, because during the day the smell of carrots attracts pests.

Top dressing

Cascade F1 carrots are fed twice during the growing season:

21-28 days after emergence;
2 months after the first feeding.

Fertilizer is a nutrient solution, for the preparation of which 1 tbsp is diluted in 10 liters of water. l. nitrophoska, 0.5 l of ash, 20 g of potassium nitrate, 15 g of urea and 15 g of double superphosphate.

The hybrid is resistant to diseases and attacks by insect pests. If signs of disease development or traces of pests are found on plants, the plantings are treated with fungicides (Fundazol, HOM) or insecticides (Aktellik, Decis).

Description Carrots Bangor F1 150 pcs. (Holland)

Carrot "Bangor F1" is a hybrid variety included in the State Register of the Russian Federation for the Central region. The variety is valued for its early ripeness, uniformity of root crops, the harvest is suitable for long-term storage, while the carrots retain good taste.

Carrots are considered early ripening from germination to technical ripeness 100-110 days, yield 1.9-2.7 kg/m2. The rosette of leaves is semi-vertical, the leaves are of medium length, green, medium-dissected. The bark and core are orange, the roots have a smooth surface, narrowly elongated with a blunt tip, the head is slightly depressed.

Weight 125-208 g, length 14-16, diameter 3-5 cm. The pulp is juicy and tasty (total sugar content 5.9%). Carrots are suitable for fresh consumption, for all types of processing and in the preparation of juices (amount of dry matter 10.5%), carotene 10.2 mg per 100 g of raw material.

Seeds are planted in the garden at the end of April - beginning of May. The soil temperature at the time of sowing should not be less than +5+8 °C. In the prepared bed, furrows are made 2-3 cm deep, the distance between rows is 15 cm.

The bottom of the groove is watered with warm water and rolled. Then, the seeds are sown evenly to a depth of 1 cm. Sprayed with water, after the furrow is covered with earth, slightly compacting, this will help the seeds to have better contact with the soil and moisture. The germination rate of the variety is 86%.

After planting the seeds, the soil is mulched with dry peat or sawdust, in a 1 cm layer. Instead of peat, you can cover the bed with a transparent film, in 1 layer, or with lutrasil (or any covering material). Leave a space of 5-6 cm between the bed and the film.

If you cover with lutrasil, then you can water the bed on top of this material. The shoots will be more even, and crusts will not form on the soil. After germination, the material is removed.

Carrots of the Bangor F1 variety must be thinned in a timely manner to create an optimal feeding area for the plants. This is usually done in several steps. The first formation is done when the first paired leaves have formed. The distance between seedlings should be 2-3 cm. Only weak plants are removed.

The second time, the carrots are thinned when the root crops reach 1 cm, the distance between them is left 4-5 cm. The third time, thinning is carried out as necessary, the distance between the root crops is left 5-7 cm. Be sure to sprinkle the resulting holes from the torn plants with earth.

The carrot bed should be watered evenly throughout the growing season. Taking into account precipitation and weather conditions in your region. It is best to water in the evening and only with warm, settled water.

Young carrots are watered at the rate of half a bucket per square meter of bed. Adult plants - once every 8-10 days at the rate of 6-8 liters/m2.

For those who visit their garden plots occasionally, it is important to remember. If the weather was dry and hot. And upon arrival, if you water abundantly, the root vegetables may crack, and such carrots will lose their ability to be stored for a long time.

In this case, watering should be resumed from 2-4 liters/m2, after 1-2 days watering is increased by 5-8 liters/m2. You need to pour water onto the beds gradually so that the soil can be saturated with moisture to a depth of 12-15 cm.

Before harvesting, 2 weeks before harvesting, watering is carried out abundantly - 2 buckets per 1 m2. Before any watering, be sure to take into account all precipitation.

If desired, you can feed carrots. The main thing is to take into account all the fertilizers applied to this bed. And of course the condition of the plants. During the first fertilizing, nitrogen fertilizers are added, 10-15 g of urea per 1 m2; in the second fertilizing, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers are added: 20-30 g of superphosphate per 1 m2, 10-15 g of potassium salt per 1 m2.

If there is not much space in your garden and you have to plant carrots in the old bed, then in such a situation you can add wood ash. Twice a year 0.2 kg/m2.

Manure fertilizers are not suitable for growing carrots, since the resulting root crops are not very beautiful and are poorly stored.

When the plant is underdeveloped, bird droppings (1:10 or 1:15) are suitable to enhance growth. It is advisable to leave the fertilizer for several days in a warm place. Before watering, the fertilizer is diluted again, 1 liter of fertilizer per 10 liters of warm water. After watering, the soil is loosened and the watering area is covered with soil.

To store the Bangor F1 variety, root crops are selected whole, without cracks. The tops are removed, the fruits must be fully ripe. To avoid drying out, carrots should be stored together with soil, 10% of the total mass. Temperature range 0 -1 0C, humidity 98%. To protect root crops from withering, you can use sawdust (coniferous), sand (loamy) or clay.

If you plan to store carrots at home, then onion peels are best suited for this. Or another option is to store root vegetables in plastic bags in the refrigerator (1-2 months). The carrot crop can also be processed and frozen.
