Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a spreading leaf rosette and upright foliage firmly attached to the root, which allows for mechanized harvesting. The root vegetables reach a length of 17–25 cm. The internal structure is practically uniform, with the core colored orange.

Marketable yield is 282–412 c/ha, reaching a maximum of 706 c/ha with a marketable product output of 82–85%. Dry matter content varies from 11.4% to 12.1%, sugar from 6.7% to 8.6%, and carotene up to 18.2 mg per 100 g of raw matter.

The hybrid is resistant to bolting and greening of root vegetables. The carrot is recommended for fresh consumption, winter storage, and industrial washing.
