Carrots of the “Shantane Royal” variety are included in the State Register of the Russian Federation for the Far East region, and are perfect for growing on private household plots. Root crops are leveled, resistant to cracking, suitable for winter storage, have a high content of carotene (up to 15.0 mg per 100 g of raw matter) and total sugar (6.1-6.9%). Carrots belong to the “Chantenay” cultivar. The resulting crop of carrots is well suited for canning, freezing, baby food, mashed potatoes, juices and salads (the amount of dry matter is 10.0-11.7%). When storing root crops for a long time, it is worth paying special attention to protection from wilting. Medium early variety 86-110 days from germination to technical ripeness. Productivity 2.0 – 4.1 kg / m 2. The rosette of leaves is semi-spreading, the leaf is long, green, with a fine dissection. The head of the carrot is smooth to convex. The root crop is short, conical shape with a slightly pointed tip. The pulp and heart are orange, juicy, sweet. Weight 110-200 g (up to 250 g), length 14-16 cm. Taste and marketability are good. Seeds are planted in the garden in late April – early May. Soil temperature at the time of sowing should not be less than + 5 + 8 ° С. On the prepared bed, grooves are made with a depth of 2-3 cm, the distance between the rows is 18-20 cm. The bottom of the groove is sprinkled with loose soil, watered with warm water and rolled. Then, the tape is evenly laid out (on the edge), depth 1.5-2 cm. For better seed germination, before planting, you can spray the tape with warm water so that it is well saturated with moisture. Or soak the tape in gauze for a day. After planting, the grooves are covered with soil, slightly compacting, this will help the seeds on the belt better contact the soil and moisture. Germination rate 79-82%. After planting the seeds, the soil is mulched with dry peat or sawdust, with a layer of 1 cm. Instead of peat, you can cover the bed with a transparent film, in 1 layer, or with lutrasil (or any covering material). A space of 5-6 cm is left between the film and the bed. If you cover with lutrasil, then you can water the bed on top of this material. Seedlings will be smoother and no crust will form on the soil. After germination, the material is removed. Carrots planted on a belt are rarely thinned out. This is usually done as needed. The distance between the roots should be 5-7 cm. Be sure to sprinkle the holes from the torn plants with earth. Amicable shoots from seeds on the belt are obtained with constant moist soil. To obtain a large harvest, regular watering and feeding are required. Water the carrot bed evenly throughout the growing season. Considering the rainfall and weather conditions in your region. It is best to irrigate in the evening and only with warm, settled water. Young carrots are watered at the rate of half a bucket per square meter of the garden. Adult plants – 1 time in 8-10 days at the rate of 6-8 liters / m2. For those who visit their garden plots, it is important to remember. If the weather was dry and hot. And upon arrival you will make abundant watering, then the roots may crack, such carrots will lose their ability to be stored for a long time. In this case, watering should be resumed from 2-4 liters / m2, after 1-2 days, watering is increased by 5-8 liters / m2. It is necessary to pour water onto the beds gradually so that the soil can be saturated with moisture by 12-15 cm. Before harvesting for 2 weeks, watering is carried out with abundant 2 buckets per 1 m2. Be sure to consider any rainfall before any watering. Optionally, you can feed the carrots. The main thing is to take into account all the fertilizers applied to this bed. And of course the condition of the plants. At the first feeding, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, 10-15 g of urea per 1m2, in the second feeding, potash and phosphorus fertilizers are applied 20-30 g of superphosphate per 1m2, 10-15 g, potassium salt per 1m2. If there is not so much space in your garden and you have to plant carrots in the same bed, then in such a situation you can add wood ash. Twice a year 0.2 kg / m2. Manure fertilizers are not suitable for growing carrots, since they are not very beautiful and poorly stored root crops. When the plant is underdeveloped, bird droppings (1: 10 or 1: 15) are suitable to enhance growth. It is advisable to insist the fertilizer for several days in a warm place. Before watering, the fertilizer is diluted again, 1 liter of fertilizer per 10 liters of warm water. After watering, the soil is loosened, the watering site is covered with soil. For the storage of the “Shantane Royal” variety, the root crops are taken whole, without cracks. The tops are removed, the fruits must be fully ripe. To avoid drying out, carrots must be stored together with the ground, 10% of the total mass. Temperature range 0-1 0С (+2 0С), humidity 98%.
