TOP 10 Best Carrot Varieties

Description of carrot varieties

There are more than 40 types of carrots, but not all of them can boast of good yield, sweet taste, juicy pulp and long shelf life. We present several varieties of such vegetables that have most of these properties.

This is what the TOP 10 best carrot varieties look like:

Vitamin 6 - was developed in 1969 on the basis of Nantes and Amsterdam. Peat and mineral soils are suitable for it. It is frost-resistant and suitable for sowing for the winter.
Losinoostrovskaya 13 is a vegetable crop included in the State Register of Plants of Russia in 1964. The name was given to it by breeders from the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing. Seeds are sown in areas open to sunlight; preliminary plowing of the soil is encouraged.
Canada is a hybrid added to the State Register for the Central Region of the Russian Federation. It is intended for cultivation in places with unfavorable climate. The yield of marketable products is about 93%. The maximum yield was established in the Vladimir region - 709 c/ha.
Samson is a Dutch variety that appeared in 2015. It belongs to the Nantes type and forms voluminous tops of a bright green color. In Russia, this carrot has been cultivated since the early 2000s. It is often grown for sale due to its marketable appearance.
Moscow winter - one of the sweetest, suitable for long-term storage in the cellar, retains its taste and presentation well. Seeds do not require special soil preparation. The shoots are strong and healthy. The sugar content here is around 12%.
Shantane is a mid-season type that grows easily on almost all soils - loamy, chernozem, etc. It is characterized by heat resistance and a long shelf life - over 5 months. In terms of yield, this is not the most profitable option, but it can be increased by cultivating vegetables on ridges.
Queen of Autumn is a late type that is often grown in temperate continental and subtropical climates. It belongs to the “Carotene” type due to the high concentration of the corresponding substance in the composition. Because of this, this carrot variety is considered the best for people with eye diseases.
Nantes 4 - grown in Asian and European countries, including most of Russia. It was developed by Soviet scientists around the 30s of the 20th century. It is often taken as a basis for breeding other types. The fruits tolerate transportation well and are not susceptible to rot.
Emperor is a leader in carotene and sugar content, so it should be used with caution by people with diabetes. It is allowed to sow seeds before winter. It is widely used in baby food and in the factory production of juice, purees, and canning.

What to do after planting carrots: care rules

As mentioned above, one of the advantages of planting carrots before winter is the lack of maintenance (after all, the seeds will simply lie in the soil until spring without any growth processes). That is, you can sow the seeds and forget about the garden bed until the next summer season. But in the spring you need to start caring for carrots: watering, loosening the soil, thinning, weeding.

However, it is still useful to perform some activities:

In winter, it is recommended to cover the bed with snow (if, of course, there is such an opportunity). When the first snow falls, shovel more snow onto the carrot seed bed. It is advisable to repeat the procedure several times after some time.

To prevent snow from flying away due to the wind, you can put spruce branches on top and press them down with bricks or stones.
At the end of winter or spring, spruce branches should be removed so that they do not interfere with the melting of snow.
When the snow has completely melted, you should cover the bed with film or agrofibre. It’s even more efficient to install arcs and put material on them. Remember to press down the film or non-woven material with bricks (or stones).

Probably, for any summer resident and gardener there is nothing more pleasant than eating delicacies grown with your own hands on your own plot. It’s especially nice if it’s a very healthy vitamin carrot. And in order to enjoy it already at the beginning of summer, you need to take care of winter planting in advance, in the autumn. As can be seen from all the information listed above, this procedure has many advantages, and the implementation of the procedure will not cause any difficulties or difficulties. It is enough to follow the instructions and rules. Happy carrot harvest!

The best varieties of carrots for the Urals

The soil and weather conditions in the Urals are not the most favorable for planting vegetables in open ground. However, carrots are an exception, because there are special varieties bred for growing in not very fertile soil and in regions with short, not hot summers. We present the TOP 2 best seeds for such purposes.

Canada

The medium-late ripening variety “Canada” was created for cultivation in unfavorable climatic conditions. It is suitable for sowing in loamy, medium-heavy soil.

Flaws

During frosts, seedlings may deteriorate.

According to reviews, Boltex produces equally good harvests in greenhouses, in open ground, and under film.

Storage Features

In the conditions of the short and cool summer of the northern Urals, late varieties do not always have time to ripen, so crops with early ripening are more suitable for cultivation in the Urals . However, keep in mind that early carrots have a short shelf life. Therefore, mid-season varieties characterized by increased shelf life are sown for winter storage.

To prevent root vegetables from spoiling during storage, follow the basic requirements :

For planting, zoned varieties are chosen, that is, recommended for specific climatic conditions.
After harvesting, the vegetables are sorted and the tops are cut off. Damaged fruits are not suitable for long-term storage; they will begin to rot and spoil neighboring root crops.
Root crops are dried before being placed in storage.
It is recommended to pre-wash the storage area with disinfecting solutions and antiseptics.
Carrots are best stored in containers filled with sand.
The room must be well ventilated.
The temperature is maintained at 1-4°C, humidity – 85-90%.

Stored vegetables are systematically checked . Root vegetables with areas of rot are immediately removed so that neighboring vegetables do not spoil.

If all conditions are met, carrots will be stored until the new season.

The best varieties of carrots for central Russia

In central Russia, the climate is predominantly temperate continental, which means carrots can be safely grown in open ground. However, for this you need to choose varieties that are not picky about the quality of the soil, because the soil here is significantly inferior to that of Kuban and Moscow. We present just such names of seeds.

Samson

“Samson” carrots are one of the leaders in sales on the Russian market, which is facilitated by good taste and excellent keeping quality of ripe fruits. It was bred in Holland and has an average ripening period of 110 to 120 days. The root crop is large in size, even, smooth. The pulp is sweet and not very hard, so it is suitable for older people.

This is a fairly large vegetable, the length of which can reach 30 cm, and the weight - 150 g. Its pulp is juicy, without bitterness, and not too watery. Vegetables have a high carotene content – 10.6% (dry matter). Its yield is quite good - 5-8 kg of vegetables per 1 sq. m. m landing. These carrots are consumed fresh and used for processing.

Advantages

Small core;
Germination rate – no less than 80%;
Can be sown at great distances from each other;
Stores well until the next harvest;
After heat treatment, it retains its bright taste.

Flaws

The color is not very saturated.

Since the germination rate of carrot seeds of this variety is one of the best, the optimal sowing pattern is 3x15 cm. Thanks to this, it will not need to be thinned out as actively as other types.

Moscow winter

The “Moscow Winter” carrot stands out in the ranking primarily because of its elongated shape, so it is not always convenient to grate it. It has one of the shortest ripening periods - from 2 to 3 months. The root crop grows evenly and does not crack, but it is important to monitor soil moisture. Its flesh is reddish-orange, not hard and sweet, but not honey-like.

Moscow winter produces fruits weighing about 170 g, with a star-shaped or faceted core. It is not capricious in terms of care, but the yield directly depends on the weather, on average, from 1 sq. m manages to collect 5-7 kg of vegetables. These carrots are suitable for long-term storage in winter and are suitable for all processing methods, and also taste good when fresh.

Advantages

It lies in the basement for a long time;
Excellent taste;
Well suited for sale, as it has a marketable appearance;
Resistance to most diseases;
Seeds can be sown before winter.

Flaws

Does not tolerate prolonged frosts well;
Doesn't like drought.

Reviews write that this carrot has a small seed sowing rate (3-4 kg per 1 ha), does not bolt or crack.

Carrots in a greenhouse

The profitability of growing carrots in a greenhouse on small plots of land is questionable. This only makes sense on an industrial scale. It is sown in a heated greenhouse in September, harvesting by the New Year and in early March. Then the root crops will ripen by the first days of June.

Early and medium ripening varieties are selected for planting. They must be suitable for cultivation in closed ground. Suitable carrots, for example, are Minicore, Airlie Nantes, Mokush, Amsterdam forcing, and Red Giant.

The planting scheme and preparation for the procedure are similar to those recommended for open ground. Practice shows that carrots grown in a greenhouse are less likely to suffer from diseases and pests, but preventive treatments should not be neglected.

Carrots are planted in an unheated greenhouse in early April. It is desirable that it be oriented from east to west and have a gabled rather than domed roof. In such structures the soil warms up faster. Before emergence, the soil is covered with black covering material.

There is nothing supernaturally difficult about growing carrots. Many gardeners simply throw seeds into the garden and then get a relatively good harvest. However, if you take care in advance to create optimal or close to optimal conditions for the crop, it will more than thank the gardener. Carrots don't have many requirements. Pre-planting seed preparation is especially important - it significantly improves their germination and the quality of future root crops. In addition to the traditional, there are also non-standard methods of cultivation, which are not without certain undoubted advantages. Therefore, it makes sense to experiment at least on small beds to understand which method is best suited for you.

The best varieties of carrots for winter storage

Initially, carrots are considered a long-lasting vegetable, but even they can begin to rot, lose their taste and presentation under unfavorable conditions: increased moisture levels, low temperatures, various pests. Therefore, those who grow this vegetable for sale and for use in winter can offer the 2 best types of seeds.

Shantanay

Gardeners choose “Chantane” carrots because they are not picky about different types of soil - sand, clay, chernozem. This variety bears fruit well and shows consistently high yields over several years - about 60 tons per 1 hectare of land. It has some of the largest fruits, the average length of which can reach 15-17 cm, and weight – 250-270 g.

The fruits are cone-shaped, the surface is smooth, the peel is thin, the color is deep orange. It responds well to drought, but still requires regular watering. Low soil moisture levels increase the risk of vegetable cracking. They can be freely stored from autumn to spring without deterioration in quality. Shantane is versatile in terms of cooking - it can be fried, stewed, boiled, baked in the oven.

Advantages

Moderately sweet taste;
Strong smell;
Tolerates freezing in the refrigerator;
Soft enough for fresh consumption;
No bitterness;
Suitable for making Korean salad.

Flaws

Not resistant to all diseases.

Regardless of the conditions in which carrots of this variety are grown, they are distinguished by better storage than similar options, high yield and excellent quality.

Queen of Autumn

The “Queen of Autumn” variety is one of the best for growing in a temperate continental climate, that is, on more than 40% of the territory of the Russian Federation. It ripens late, so harvest occurs in early October. From the time the seeds are sown until the vegetables are harvested, it takes about 120 days. This type gives a good harvest - about 8 kg per 1 sq. m, but on less fertile soils the results worsen.

“Queen of Autumn” produces root crops of a regular, elongated shape with a slightly flattened top. They reach a length of 30 cm and grow in weight up to 150-200 g. This vegetable is resistant to cold weather and cracking, but does not tolerate prolonged heat and dry soil. For a good harvest, periodic watering and fertilizing are required.

Advantages

Great for preparing fresh salads;
Gives first courses a beautiful orange tint;
Due to its juiciness, it can be processed into juice;
It can be stored in the basement for 8 months;
High carotene content.

Flaws

Not easily extracted from dense, dry soils.

Reviews say that even after prolonged heat treatment, individual fruits can remain moderately hard.

Diseases and pests

In the cool climate of the Urals, the following diseases are most common:

White rot. It is characterized by the appearance of a white coating on the root crop. The cause is usually contaminated soil or excess nitrogen fertilizers. A good prevention of the disease is spraying with solutions containing copper.
Bacteriosis. It appears at the growth stage and affects the tops. in this case, the leaves first turn yellow, and then darken and curl. Since the infection is transmitted through infected seed, make sure that the seeds are collected from a healthy plant. Also preventative is soaking the seeds in hot water (50-55⁰C) for 15 minutes.
Red rot or felt disease. Brown or purple spots appear on the fruit, then they turn black and deepen. This disease appears in heat and moisture and usually develops during storage. It is recommended to monitor the storage temperature and remove diseased carrots from the total mass.
Gray rot. Appears during storage; a gray coating appears on the tip of the fruit. Proper storage and selection of a resistant crop variety helps to avoid the occurrence of this disease.

Among the pests there is a carrot fly, which lays eggs near the sowing site. Its larvae eat young fruits, gnawing entire passages in it. A good preventative measure is to plant onions between rows, as this pest does not tolerate the onion smell.

It is quite difficult to obtain a high carrot yield in the Urals, although there are no fundamental differences from cultivation in other regions of the country. The key points for the success of this enterprise remain sufficient heating of the soil, correct selection of varieties, compliance with agrotechnical cultivation rules and proper care of the plant.

The best sweet varieties of carrots

The taste of carrots is affected by the conditions in which they are grown. For example, with excess moisture, it grows less sweet and juicy. However, we have selected several varieties that guarantee an almost honey harvest. In total, the descriptions of 10 items were analyzed, but only two of them were included in this TOP category.

Nantes 4

“Nantes” carrots are a standard of quality; they do not rot during long-term storage and retain their presentation for six months or more. The harvest is juicy and rich - about 230-260 c/ha, which makes it profitable to grow vegetables on an industrial scale. It is bought for its high carotene content, which is good for vision and explains the bright orange color of the pulp.

Nantes is the leader in the content of phytoncides that kill pathogens. It stores well from autumn to spring, but is susceptible to high humidity. A large amount of sugar inside allows you to get delicious juice. The fruits are light in weight - from 70 to 160 g and have a length of 12-16 cm. Their ripening period is 80-120 days. The better the care for the seedlings of this carrot variety, the faster the harvest appears.

Emperor

...I grow this variety of carrots in greenhouse conditions; this does not affect the yield or quality of the fruit. True, I change the planting location every year...

Expert opinion

Mid-season "Emperor" is valued primarily because of the combination of high quality and beautiful appearance of the fruit. They have an elongated shape, grow up to 25 cm in length, even and smooth, deep orange in color. The seeds are unpretentious in terms of soil - they are grown equally effectively in sandy and loamy soil.

Seeds are planted around June-July, depending on the region. They can be sown before the start of winter, and then the carrots will grow by mid-summer. The seedlings are not afraid of high temperatures - up to 32-35 degrees, but in this case it is still recommended to carry out mulching. The first collection occurs on days 105-115. Typically, after two weeks, more than 90% of the fruits become ripe. On average, the yield of "Emperor" is at the level of 75% with seedlings of 92-95%.

Advantages

Average yield – from 5.5 to 7 kg;
Economical seed consumption - from 150 pcs. per sq. m;
Can be sown on a ridge;
The optimal seed consumption is 3-4 g per 1 hectare.

Flaws

It is required to pour out 6 to 10 liters of water per linear meter;
The optimal distance between rows is 15 cm.

Features of the climate in the Urals

Weather conditions in the Urals are quite varied. The length of the Ural mountain range is more than 2,300 km, stretching from north to south through central Russia. Therefore, the climate in different parts of the Urals differs significantly .

In the central and southern regions, carrots are grown according to the usual pattern, which differs from the planting rules in the northern part.

Many farmers are interested in the possibility of growing carrots in the northern Urals. The northern Urals are characterized by a harsh climate with severe frosts , cold winds and few sunny days.

To get the best results, you must first choose a variety that is frost-resistant and adapts to sudden temperature changes. And most importantly, the variety must have time to produce a harvest before the onset of frost, that is, be early ripening.

High-quality crop care will help the plant grow and ripen under the unfavorable weather conditions of this region.

Carrot planting technology in the Urals

Regardless of the region, the soil begins to be prepared in the fall . If the soil on the site is heavy, in the fall it is dug up with sand and neutral peat at the rate of 2.5-3 kg of peat per square meter. m. To improve the nutritional properties, wood ash is added to the soil when digging. If the soil is highly acidic, it is dug up with the addition of lime, dolomite flour, adding 0.5 kg per square meter. m.

When digging, remove all plant debris that insect pests use as winter shelters. For disinfection, it is useful to water the soil with a pink solution of potassium permanganate. To nourish the soil during the winter, mineral fertilizers are added to it. Prepare a solution consisting of 30 g of superphosphate, 20 g of urea, 20 g of potassium sulfate in 10 liters of water, and spill the soil. The area is leveled with a rake and left until spring.

In the spring, before sowing carrots, the soil is loosened , thereby eliminating the soil crust formed over the winter. When loosening, compost or humus is added to the soil.

Rules for growing carrots in the Urals

The crop is planted when the soil warms up to a temperature of 8-10°C . In the central and southern parts of the Urals, planting begins at the end of April. In the northern part, planting dates are delayed until mid-May. The air temperature during the day should be within +10...+15°С, at night - not lower than +5...+7°С.

At this time, the likelihood of night frosts is minimal.

In autumn, they are rarely planted in the north of the Urals, since in winter the air temperature in these areas drops to -35°C. Not every variety is able to withstand such frosts.

When choosing a carrot variety, take into account for which areas of the Urals planting seeds is recommended.

Important! In the northern part of the Urals, autumn comes quickly, so choose a variety that will have time to ripen during the short summer.

For planting crops, choose a sunny area , which is especially important in the northern Urals, where sunny days are rare. The site should not be located in a lowland, as water will accumulate there after rains. Choose a place protected from the strong winds characteristic of the macroregion.

Carrot seeds are pre-prepared . First, strong seeds are selected, discarding deformed seeds. Then they are immersed in a container of water for two hours. During this time, empty seeds will float to the surface and are thrown away. The remaining seeds are disinfected in a solution of “Fitosporin”: 2 g of dry preparation per 1 liter of water. Then they are germinated by wrapping them in damp cloth. You can germinate in the Epin solution: 4 drops per 1 liter of water. After 5-6 days, the seeds are planted in the ground.

In the prepared area, make grooves 2-2.5 cm deep . The sprouted seeds are placed in them at a distance of 2-3 cm. 20 cm are left between the rows. The seeds are carefully sprinkled with soil, and the bed is watered with a watering can so that the stream of water does not wash away the soil. Then the surface of the soil is slightly compacted to increase the contact of the seeds with the moistened soil.

Shoots begin to appear as soon as the soil warms up to 8-10°C. In the northern Urals this happens in early June.

At first, the beds are watered with a small amount of water every three days, depending on weather conditions. As soon as the seedlings grow to 15-20 cm, watering is reduced to once a week, but made more abundant.

When the seedlings have two pairs of leaves, thinning is carried out , removing weak specimens. Further thinning is carried out as the seedlings grow. A distance of 6-7 cm is left between adult plants.

Simultaneously with thinning, weeds are removed and the soil is loosened to improve oxygen access to the roots.

During the growth of the crop, three feedings are performed . The first is carried out 20 days after emergence. To do this, use solutions:

10 g of nitrophoska and 10 liters of water;
15 g of potassium sulfate, 15 g of superphosphate, 10 g of urea per bucket of water.

Attention! Fertilizing is carried out only on pre-moistened soil.

It is recommended to water the roots with fertilizers in the morning.

The second feeding is performed 14-20 days after the first . In this case, the main components are added: potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus. Prepare a solution consisting of 10 g of potassium sulfate, 10 g of ammophosphate and 10 liters of water.

During the third feeding, nitrogen is added by watering the crop with a solution of wood ash : 200 g of ash is poured with warm water, left for a day and watered at the root. Feeding is carried out three weeks after the second.

Reference! Nitrogen fertilizers are not used during the third feeding.

Harvest time depends on the region and variety . In the northern parts of the Urals, the crop is planted later, so the harvest dates also shift by as much as the later the variety was planted.

For the Urals, varieties that ripen before the onset of cold weather are best suited . For this purpose, biologists have developed varieties that are distinguished by early ripening and resistance to low temperatures.

Which type of carrot is best?

To sow before winter, the seeds must be frost-resistant to withstand sub-zero temperatures. In spring, absolutely any seeds can be planted in open ground, but do not forget about preliminary fertilizing of the soil, for example, with humus. Depending on the type of vegetable, you can sow them in rows or on ridges.

All varieties are divided not only according to growing conditions, but also taking into account cost:

If you need a budget option, then take a closer look at the following names: “Vitamin 6”, “Canada”, “Samson”.
Medium-priced ones include “Moscow Winter”, “Chantane” and “Nantes 4”.
Among the premium ones are O, “Queen of Autumn”, “Boltex” and Losinoostrovskaya 13.

When choosing a carrot variety, it is better to focus on the type of soil and weather conditions, as well as the purpose of planting it. For sale, an important point is the long-term preservation of the marketable appearance and taste of vegetables, and if they are grown for oneself, then the first one can be donated.

New Ural carrots

Domestic and foreign breeders do not stop working on developing new varieties and hybrids of carrots. Having passed variety testing at the State Variety Commission, these new products are added to the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation. The following new varieties and hybrids were approved for cultivation for Ural vegetable growers and gardeners:

Jerada - in 2014;

The carrot variety Dzherada was bred in 2014 for the North-Western, Central, Central Black Earth and Ural regions
