Carrot - Berlikumer 2 - 50 g - Aromatic flavour, long storage - Fresh Seeds

The Berlikumer 2 carrot is a late, prolific variety that produces cylindrical roots reaching 16 to 19 cm in length and possessing an intense, dark orange colour. Its juicy, sweet taste and firm structure make it perfect for raw salads, fresh juices, soups, and dinner dishes. The plants create a uniform yield, and thanks to excellent storage properties, the roots can be safely stored for long months.

Sowing

Seeds are sown directly into the ground on carefully prepared, light, and loose soil. Sowing in rows facilitates later care and harvesting. The substrate should be free of stones and hard clods to prevent root deformation.

Sowing depth

The optimal depth is 1-2 cm. This ensures stable moisture for the seeds and good conditions for even germination.

Sowing time

Seeds are sown from March to May, when the soil temperature reaches at least 5 degrees Celsius. In cooler regions, it is worth waiting for significant warming to accelerate emergence.

Spacing

A spacing of 30-40 cm between rows and approximately 5 cm between plants in the row is recommended. Maintaining proper intervals favours the development of long, straight roots.

Site

The best spot will be sunny with permeable, well-drained, and moderately moist soil. Carrots do not tolerate fresh manure well; it is better to use well-decomposed compost and ensure a uniform soil structure. Avoiding over-fertilisation with nitrogen favours better flesh quality.

Cultivation

The soil should be regularly loosened and weeded to limit competition for water and nutrients. During periods of drought, systematic watering is necessary, which prevents root cracking and helps obtain straight, smooth roots. In the case of overly dense emergence, thinning is carried out to achieve target intervals.

Harvest time

Roots are harvested in autumn, usually from September to November, as they reach full size and colour. Harvesting on a dry day facilitates drying and preparing carrots for storage.

Usage

The uniform, firm roots are ideal for salads, juices, boiling, and baking. The variety performs excellently in storage, retaining its taste, colour, and texture for a long time.

Disease resistance

The variety is characterised by good health and stable yielding. Proper crop rotation, an airy site, and maintaining the cleanliness of the bed limit the risk of diseases.
