Variety description

10 August 2026

Root crops have a cylindrical shape with a blunt tip, reaching a length of 17–24 cm with a diameter of 3–4 cm. The surface is smooth, the color is deep orange, and the texture is characterized by high density and uniformity.

The plant has a vigorous, upright leaf canopy with strong attachment to the root. The variety is resistant to leaf blight (Alternaria dauci), Pythium rot, cavity spot, cracking, and exposure to short-term autumn frosts.

The recommended sowing density is 1.2–1.4 million seeds per 1 hectare. The hybrid is adapted for late harvesting, including the method of pulling by the tops, and is suitable for commercial packaging and washing.
