Nandrin F1 is one of the high-yielding carrot varieties. Farmers usually harvest 5-7 kg of fruits from one square meter, which means that 50-70 tons of this wonderful product are obtained from 1 hectare. On a personal plot, with manual cultivation of beds, you can achieve a larger yield - about 8-9 kg per square meter.
Agricultural rules for carrots Nandrin F1
This variety thrives on light soil with low acidity. Loves watering, but not excessive watering, since waterlogged and heavy soil is not for this carrot.
Sowing
Carrots are a fairly cold-resistant plant, for germination it is enough for the earth to warm up to 3-4 degrees. Do not worry if frost hits again after sowing.
Even the emerging seedlings are not afraid of frost down to -4 Celsius. Carrot seeds are small, the content of essential oils in them is high enough, which slows down the germination process. Seedlings appear only 14-16 days after sowing.
You can regulate the ripening time of fruits with several crops:
- In order for fresh carrots to appear on the table as early as possible, they should be sown in winter, around mid-October, while there is no snow.
- If you sow Nandrin carrots in the spring, as mentioned above, that is, it will be possible in August.
- To harvest in late September-early October for storage, sowing must be done in mid-June.
Before sowing, it is necessary to remove all weeds and thoroughly loosen the soil in the garden. Make grooves 15-20 centimeters apart. Spread the seeds into these grooves, observing the intervals between them 1-2 cm, so as not to do thinning in the future, which can injure the plants.
Conditions for obtaining a good harvest
- It is important to choose the right landing site. There should be no weeds in the garden bed, especially those large ones such as wheatgrass. It is good to plant carrots after cucumbers, onions, cabbage, nightshade crops, since organic fertilizer is usually applied under them, which is quite enough for carrots.
- The acidity of the soil should not be high, within 6-7 units.
- It is better to fertilize the soil before sowing carrot seeds only with complex mineral fertilizers.
How to care for carrots
- When the seedlings reach about three centimeters, they need to be thinned so that the distance between the plants is about two centimeters.
- After a while, when the diameter of the root crop becomes 0.5-1 cm, thinning should be carried out again. Now leave 4 to 6 centimeters between the carrots.
- Weeding is very important during this period. In order for the plant to gain strength, nothing should interfere with it and take nutrients from the soil. Therefore, you should remove all weeds, then loosen between the rows to provide oxygen access to the root crop.
- While the fruit is being poured, it needs watering, not too frequent and not too abundant (5-6 liters of water per 1m2).
When to harvest
The earliest crop of Nandrin carrots is obtained with the second thinning. At this time, the root crop reached a size of about 1 cm in diameter, which indicates its suitability for food. At this time of the year, it is especially valuable, since there are still few ripe vegetables in the garden.
When the fruits of the June sowing are fully ripe, they need to be dug up with a pitchfork, carefully pulled out by the tops, shaken off the ground and folded along the edges of the beds to dry. After 3-4 hours, you can start preparing the carrots for storage, that is, trim the tops, sort the fruits by size, small ones can be used for animal feed or juice, medium and large fruits can be folded into a container, sprinkled with dry sand or sawdust. Remove to the cellar.
Subject to the agrotechnical rules, the harvest of Nandrin F1 carrots will be excellent. Farmers and amateur gardeners give good reviews of the Nandrin hybrid. Most of all, it is appreciated for its high resistance to diseases and pests, a bountiful harvest, keeping quality, excellent characteristics in taste and uniformity of fruits.
Reviews of gardeners
Our gardeners have good reviews of this carrot. Here is some of them:
In my opinion, it is erroneously indicated that the main harvest takes place in the fall, 95-105 days after sowing, most likely AFTER the SPRING of the seeds.
In addition to the above comment, I want to add by what method I sowed the carrots.
Since tomatoes grew on this bed last year, and they were mulched with a very thick layer of cut grass, in the spring I dug up the bed with the entire bayonet of a shovel and hiding the former mulch in the ground. It was deep digging and a huge amount of mulch grass (which later turned into a loose mass and decomposed) that played a role in making the carrots grow from 20 to 25 centimeters (I don’t lie to God)! And hot May and June in 2019, namely sunny days, favored very rapid ripening of carrots of both hybrids.
To our delight, they grew up almost the same in size, taste and without being affected by any diseases or pests, both hybrids. At the same time, unfortunately, Nandrin came across several carrots with three trunks ...
I make the grooves with a shovel handle and a sledgehammer. I put the cutting on the garden bed and hit it with a sledgehammer so that the cutting half the size is in the ground by about 3 centimeters ... Then I pull it out of the ground and after 22-25 cm I put it on the bed and repeat the procedure again. As a result, such boat holes are obtained ...
In them I lay out the grated seeds (treated with fungicide) and fall asleep with soil mixed with peat and sand by 1.5 - 2 cm. After that I water from a watering can and cover with a covering material. In the future, I water the covering material. I remove the covering material when the carrots sprout so that it does not interfere with its growth.
I used to grow carrots Autumn Queen, Canada, Samson, but the Napoli and Nandrin hybrids surpass all these listed varieties, besides, sometimes there are re-graded seeds in packages ... Last year, the Autumn Queen sowed, and some squiggles grew, and even with a large core , relative to the size of the fruit.
And now a request to the site owners. Do not write (or let with your permission) do not write the phrase "plant carrot seeds." Carrot seeds SEYUT. Thank!
Nandrin chose the carrots by chance, when studying the characteristics of the proposed assortment in the Semyon store on Yablochkova. He paid attention to disease resistance, early maturity, excellent taste, size and weight of fruits.
As a result, he acquired Nandrin and Napoli. Nandrin in a package of 120 seeds, and Naprli 140 seeds (110 and 140 seeds were reported) and sowed 4 Nandrin grooves and 5 Napoli grooves.
The seeds were sown on April 24, 2019. Since the seeds are pelleted, it was easy to count their number in the groove. At the beginning of July, they were already pulling out beautiful and tasty fruits. The grandchildren ate them with great pleasure. The characteristics indicated in the description correspond to the parameters by 100%.
On the same bed and on the same day, I sowed 15 grooves of carrots Incomparable ... It cannot be compared with Nandrin and Napoli, since it is much inferior to them both in size and taste, only its tops are high, in this Incomparable is superior to both these hybrids.
For the future I will buy varieties Nandrin and Napoli and sow these hybrids ... like early Napoli, and for storage in the winter Nandrin ... and Nandrin sowing will be carried out in 2 stages, the first in mid-April, and the second in the first ten days of June!
