Koral Carrot (Daucus carota) is a late and very productive carrot variety recommended particularly for processing juices, purees, frozen food, and preserves. Koral carrot stores well and does not lose its nutritional nor gustatory assets in the process. It does not bifurcate, break, turn green, and it does not accumulate nitrates either. It produces long 20 cm, intensely orange roots that contain plenty of sugar, water, and carotenes, which makes them exceptionally tasty, sweet, and juicy.

Koral is grown from sowing, intended either for summer and autumn harvest and consumption or for winter storing. Seeds for the summer harvest are sown in April, and for winter storing in the first half of May. Seeds should be sown in rows in 30-40 x 5 cm spacings. After the sprouting you should thin the seedlings, leaving 5 – 8 cm distances between plants. Light, sandy or sandy-clay, moderately moist, and slightly acidic soils work best in carrot cultivation. Koral carrot may be harvested from September to October.

 Sowing

Sow seeds 5-10 mm deep when soil is at least 8 C. Sow seeds at 5 days intervals over several weeks for fresh eating. Thin to 5 cm apart.

Germination Instructions

Direct sow into well prepared, light well-drained soil that is stone free. Carrots do not like manured soils so beds are best prepared during the previous autumn. Rake in a general-purpose fertilizer 1-2 weeks before sowing. Sow very thinly 10mm deep in drills 30cm apart. Water until germination occurs. Germination takes 10-20 days. When large enough to handle thin to 10cm spacing.

Growing Instructions

Water only to keep the soil moist, excessive water encourages leaf, not root growth. Earth up around growing carrots to prevent green crowns. Carrot fly can be a problem, if so cover with fleece or fine netting.

Cultivation Instructions

Pull a single carrot first to check the size. If soil is dry water before lifting as this will make it easier. Use a fork to lift roots. Damaged roots should be used immediately or discarded. Sound roots can be stored. Cut leaves to 2cm and store in layers of sand, carrots should not touch each other during storage.
