Variety description

10 August 2026

The period from emergence to harvest is 70–90 days. The root crops have a smooth surface, a length of 15 to 22 cm, and a weight from 80–100 to 170 g. The flesh is juicy and sweet, with a high carotene content and a small core, not differing in color from the rest of the root.

The plant has a semi-spreading rosette of leaves. The variety is characterized by relative resistance to diseases and bolting. Not recommended for heavy clay soils to avoid deformation. The purpose of the fruit is universal; with summer sowing, the root crops possess satisfactory keeping quality for storage.
