The variety producer, having named one of the varieties of carrots “Yaroslavna”, as if in advance endowed it with strictly defined qualities. And I was not mistaken – yes, she is exactly the same as the real Yaroslavna, the wife of the Novgorod prince Igor, was.
She is slim, beautiful, thin-skinned, and extremely desirable. Those who dealt with the Yaroslavna carrot variety are convinced that it is difficult to imagine the best carrot variety for conditions.
Carrots for the princely table
There are many different varieties. Each of them has its own variety type with specific characteristics and consumer qualities. “Yaroslavna” is intended for real gourmets and exquisite tables.
Carrot “Yaroslavna” belongs to the Nantes variety and inherited all its best characteristics:
- carrots of this variety belong to varieties of medium growing season. She will need only 100 days from germination to full maturity;
- like the entire variety type Nantes, it has even, strictly cylindrical, blunt root crops;
- the length of such a fruit can reach 220 mm;
- “Yaroslavna” has a great taste of tender and juicy pulp of a pleasant, reddish-orange color;
- the yield of carrot varieties “Yaroslavna” reaches 3700 g/m2;
She likes light loam or sandy loam soil, well seasoned with humus. Such soil should contain a lot of humus and be permeable.
What kind is such and care
Heavy loamy soils, when dried, form a surface crust. Such a crust by all means prevents not only the germination of seeds, but the development of the whole plant. Root crops in such a bed lose their natural beauty and varietal qualities. They become twisted and branched. Extremely negative carrot “Yaroslavna” applies to podzolic soils with high acidity. Although her water requirements are low, she endures any drying of her native beds very hard. She needs watering and fertilizing regularly.
Besides:
- this variety of carrot, although not very resistant to disease, is extremely resistant to cracking;
- when sowing in mid-May – the harvest can be expected by mid-September, while planting should be done according to the scheme 300 * 50 mm;
- yields with proper agricultural technology can reach more than 3 kg / m2. This is not the greatest harvest, but multiplied by excellent quality, it will leave no chance for another harvest;
- the high content of carotene and the versatility of application will not leave people indifferent to this truly princely variety.
