Main characteristics of the Vita Longa variety and the Bangor F₁ hybrid:

During mechanized harvesting, the leaf petioles of this carrot are not damaged.

The variety and hybrid are characterized by high resistance to bacterial diseases.

The main advantages and disadvantages of Vita Long and Bangor F1

The root crop of the Vita Longa variety has a thin core - its diameter of the total diameter is less than 30%. Root crops protrude slightly above the soil surface. The variety is highly resistant to brown leaf spot.

Bangor F₁ forms smooth, uniform root crops that are equal in length . It is characterized by 100% keeping quality during long-term storage. Over a large feeding area, it grows root crops weighing 400-500 g.

The variety and hybrid have persistent resistance to greening of root crops . Gardeners did not identify any shortcomings when growing them.

Features of planting and growing

Any soil is suitable, except clean sand and heavy clay . The highest yields are obtained on light loamy soils and peat bogs.

Manure is applied a year before planting under the predecessor crop - cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, legumes. It is not recommended to grow carrots after perennial herbs and representatives of the Apiaceae family - parsley, dill, celery. These crops are parasitized by the carrot fly and pathogens dangerous to carrots - the causative agents of white rot, Alternaria blight, and brown spot.

For carrots, a deep arable layer is formed in which the root crop will develop:

• clear the area of ​​stones;
• dig up the soil to a depth of 25-27 cm;
• loosen to ensure the flow of air and underground moisture to the root crops.

Phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied during autumn digging . Nutrients are available to carrots when the soil reaction is slightly acidic (pH 6.5).

Important! 10 days before planting, the seeds are placed in a canvas bag and buried on the site in moist soil. Then they are taken out, dried for half an hour at room temperature and sown.

Dutch carrot seeds can be soaked in one of the solutions heated to 30°C:

• for 1 liter of water – 1/3 tsp. boric acid and 1/2 tsp. nitroammofoski;
• 1 liter of water, potassium permanganate, 1/2 tsp. fertilizers;
• 1 liter of water and 1 tbsp. l. wood ash.

After a day, the seeds are rinsed , wrapped in a damp cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Then they are taken out, slightly dried and sown.

Sowing dates depend on the weather. The minimum temperature for seed germination is +4…+6°С, the optimal temperature is +18…+20°С. Spring sowing begins as soon as the soil dries, winter sowing begins 2 weeks before frost.

The seeding rate per 1 m² is 100 seeds . The seeding depth on heavy soils is 1-1.5 cm, on light soils 2.5-3.5 cm. In regions with dry springs, seeds are buried to a depth of 5 cm.

They are sown in the beds in furrows located at a distance of 20 cm from each other, or using the tape method: the distance between the tapes is 30-45 cm, between the rows 18-20 cm.

The early ripening hybrid Bangor F₁ is grown in ridges , which are cut in the fall. In spring, the soil in the ridges quickly ripens at a depth of 15-20 cm, which allows for quick sowing and an early harvest.

Nuances of care

Shoots appear on days 6-20 . After watering or rain, the soil between the rows is loosened to a depth of 3 cm, trying to prevent the formation of a crust. At the same time, weeds are destroyed.

Thinning begins when the carrots have 1-2 true leaves. Leave a gap of 3-4 cm between the plants, compact the soil around the root and water with warm water.

Long-fruited carrots require careful attention to watering:

• young shoots are watered 1-2 times a week at 3-4 l/m²;
• root vegetables the thickness of a pencil – once a week, 10 l/m²;
• for larger root crops, increase water consumption to 20 l/m².

Alternating dry periods with abundant watering leads to cracking of carrots. A month after the emergence of seedlings, the first fertilizing is done - 1 tbsp is diluted in 10 liters of water. l. nitrophoska. 5 liters of solution are consumed per 1 m². After 2.5 weeks, fertilizing is repeated - 7-8 l/m². The most dangerous pests and diseases :

1. The carrot fly is especially dangerous in wet areas located near bushes and on peaty and swampy soils. The leaves turn bronze and die. Covering crops with non-woven material in the phase of appearance of true leaves is effective against carrot flies. Treated with Decis Profi and Tsiper.
2. Carrot psyllid spreads in areas near coniferous forests. Carrot leaves dry out. Plants are sprayed with tobacco dust or soap solution.
3. Sources of infection with black rot are soil, weeds and seeds. The main symptom is blackening of the stem. The petioles tend to the ground. Spraying with the preparation "Rovral" is used.
4. Brown spot spreads through weeds and infected seeds. Brown constrictions appear on the lower part of the stem, yellow spots on the leaves. Plants are treated with a decoction of celandine or horsetail.
5. The causative agents of cercospora blight are transmitted through plant debris. Light brown spots with a light center, covered with plaque, appear on the leaves. For prevention, treat with a weak solution of Bordeaux mixture.

General preventive measures include maintaining crop rotation, deep digging of the soil in autumn and the destruction of plant debris, especially weeds of the Celery family.

Harvest and storage

The safety of Vita Long is 93%, Bangor F₁ is 96-98% . Harvesting of mature root crops begins before the onset of autumn frosts.

Agricultural technology for growing carrot seeds

Carrots are valued for their sweet fruits with a lot of vitamins.
This vegetable does not have any special requirements for soil composition, care and weather. It is enough to carry out a number of simple agricultural techniques during the growing season in order to fully provide yourself with your own harvest for the whole year. Technology of growing from seeds

• Carrot seeds can be placed in the ground once the threat of severe frost has passed.
• It is convenient to sow the area in parts, with a break of a couple of weeks to a month. This will first allow you to get an early harvest of a frost-resistant vegetable, and then always have young carrots on hand for salads.
• This crop does not like replanting, so the choice of site is considered carefully.
• The place should be well lit by the sun. The soil needs to be light, with good drainage, free from stones. Add compost to heavy soil.
• The soil is loosened; for later varieties, the soil is treated more deeply.
• When sowing, maintain an interval of about 30 cm between adjacent rows. The seeds are evenly distributed at a depth of 1 cm and sprinkled with soil.
• Water the soil moderately, avoiding overmoistening the seeds. This is especially important before seedlings emerge.
• It is convenient to grow carrots together with radishes. They have different ripening periods and similar growing conditions. Radish shoots will appear much earlier and will make caring for carrot beds easier.
• Then the early vegetable will be harvested, and the carrots will just enter the phase of active development.
• Carrot seeds germinate 2-3 weeks after sowing.
• In thickened plantings, remove excess plants when the plant height is about 7 cm.
• Leave the bushes at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other.

Carrot Bangor F1

For cultivation in domestic latitudes, farmers are offered various varieties and hybrids of carrots, including foreign selection. Moreover, hybrids obtained by crossing two varieties combine the best qualities of their ancestors. Thus, some of them have amazing taste and external characteristics, high resistance to diseases, cold, and suitability for long-term storage. One of the best hybrids is the Bangor F1 carrot. The main characteristics of this variety, taste and external description and photo of the root crop are given in the article.

Description of the hybrid

The Bangor F1 carrot variety was developed by the Dutch breeding company Bejo. According to the external description, the hybrid is classified as the “Berlicum” variety, since the root crop has a cylindrical shape with a rounded tip. Its length is in the range of 16-20 cm, weight is 120-200 g. In cross section, the diameter of the root crop is 3-5 mm. You can evaluate the external qualities of carrots of the “Bangor F1” variety in the photo below.

100 g of Bangor F1 carrots contain:

• 10.5% dry matter;
• 6% total sugar;
• 10 mg carotene.

In addition to the main substances, carrots contain a complex of vitamins and microelements: B vitamins, panthethonic and ascorbic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, fatty and essential oils.

The microelement composition affects the external and taste qualities of the root crop. Thus, a relatively high amount of carotene gives the root vegetable an orange-red color. The pulp of Bangor F1 carrots is very juicy, sweet, and moderately dense. The root crop of this variety is used in the preparation of fresh vegetable salads, canning, the production of baby and dietary food, and multi-vitamin juices.

Agricultural technology

The variety "Bangor F1" is zoned for the Central region of Russia. It is recommended to sow it in April, when the likelihood of frosts and prolonged cold spells has passed. Loose sandy loams and light loams are best suited for cultivating vegetables. The required soil composition can be prepared by mixing the soil available on the land plot with sand, humus, and peat. Sawdust treated with urea should be added to heavy clay. The depth of the arable layer for growing the Bangor F1 variety must be at least 25 cm.

Carrot seeds should be sown in rows. The distance between them should be at least 15 cm. It is recommended to maintain a 4 cm interval between seeds in the same row. To maintain the required distance, it is recommended to use special tapes with seeds or glue them yourself onto paper analogues. If the required intervals are not observed, it is necessary to thin out the carrots 2 weeks after emergence. The depth of planting the seed should be 1-2 cm.

During the growing process, the crop requires systematic watering. In this case, the depth of soil saturation should be greater than the length of the root crop. All necessary fertilizers should be added to the soil in the fall, which will eliminate the need for additional fertilizing. To combat carrot flies (if necessary), during the cultivation process, you can treat with ash, tobacco dust, wormwood, or special agrochemicals. By watching the video you can learn in detail about the agrotechnical features of growing carrots:

Under favorable growing conditions, carrots of the Bangor F1 variety ripen 110 days after sowing the seed. The crop yield largely depends on the nutritional value of the soil, compliance with cultivation rules and can vary from 5 to 7 kg/m2.
