Hybrid variety of carrots Dordogne f1
Dordogne f1 carrots are successfully grown on an industrial scale, thanks to their high yields, shelf life and selected presentation.
Hybrid variety of carrots Dordogne f1
Varietal characteristics
Variety of carrots Dordogne f1 belongs to the hybrid, to the prototype of Nantes. She appeared in the process of selection at Syngenta Seeds, included in the Russian State Register in 2007. According to the description, Dordogne f1 grows vegetables:
- length 18-22 cm,
- weighing 80-120 g,
- with a diameter of 4-6 cm.
Root crops in the bulk of an even cylindrical shape, have a bright orange color, sweet and juicy pulp.
The chemical composition of vegetables contains:
- 12% dry matter
- 7.1% sugars
- 12.1% carotene.
Vegetable culture is widespread up to the Far North.
The percentage of curvature of the root crops of the Dordogne f1 hybrid does not exceed 5%.
Description of carrots Dordogne f1:
- Early ripeness.
- The period from the moment of sowing the seeds to the stage of technical ripening of vegetables is from 110 to 140 days. At the same time, selective harvesting of the carrot harvest is permissible 3 weeks earlier.
- A short growing season is combined with good yield indicators, which is 3.5-7.2 kg per 1 sq. m of sown area, while the vegetable crop shows high yields even when cultivated on heavy soil soils.
Hybrid benefits
Delicious and juicy carrots
Among the advantages of the hybrid variety Dordogne f1 are:
- clearly not expressed central inner part of the vegetable (core), which does not differ in coarse texture,
- high levels of sugar and carotene contained,
- decent taste and quality characteristics,
- rare cases of cracking,
- lack of tendency to shoot and outgrow.
All these advantages make the hybrid economically profitable for growing on an industrial scale, as well as for cultivation in small private farms and in summer cottages, because:
- the vegetable crop showed an even friendly germination of seeds with simultaneously early periods of technical ripening, with early sowing, the first crops are harvested in the middle of summer, the germination rates are 95-98%,
- the variety is unpretentious to the fertility and acidity of the soil,
- the plant has a clearly expressed indifference to changes in weather conditions,
- in the process of mechanized processing, vegetables have a small indicator of damage,
- over a long period, the culture retains its presentation in 95% of cases, the shelf life is up to 10 months,
- short in length carrots simplify the process of packing, packaging and home preparation,
- in the process of mechanical washing vegetables do not lose their uniform color and do not darken.
Due to its attractive appearance, root crops even in size and shape, Dordogne f1 carrots are in demand in the consumer market.
Features of agricultural technology
The culture does not require special care in the cultivation process. Among the features of agricultural technology when growing a hybrid Dordogne f1 are:
- deep plowing of soil in the fall, which provides the possibility of developing roots of vegetable crops to a depth of 0.3 m,
- pre-sowing application of fertilizing complexes and mandatory feeding in the main stages of the growing season, while in heavy clay soils in the absence of a sufficient amount of compost and humus in the fall, it is recommended to introduce sawdust from deciduous plants,
- avoiding excessive thickening when planting, which becomes the cause of root crops shrinking and their deformation,
- rare watering with repeated loosening and mulching of the ridges.
Due to the firm planting of the tops, on a root crop under conditions of private cultivation of the hybrid variety Dordogne f1, it is recommended to harvest carrots without mechanical impact, by pulling them out of the ground, which prevents damage and affects the shelf life of vegetables.
Conclusion
The hybrid variety of the Dordogne f1 carrot variety is widely grown in Russia on an industrial scale and in limited acreage of private farms. It is distinguished by early germination and a long storage period. Root crops have a decent presentation, attractive by their uniformity and uniform shapes.
