Product description

* Basic product information: * Item name: Nantes carrots – one of the most famous and premium carrot varieties worldwide. * Weight: Large commercial pack of 400 grams. * Brand: Fresno. * Origin: American seeds (improved strain). * Botanical and fruit characteristics: * Fruit shape: Approximately cylindrical, almost equal from top to bottom, ending with a rounded tip (not sharply pointed). * Color: Bright orange and very attractive both outside and inside. * Texture and taste: Nantes carrots feature a very small heart, crispy and crunchy texture, and a sweet flavor, making them preferred for fresh consumption, juice, and cooking. * Agricultural features: * Adaptation: This variety grows excellently in sandy soil or light deep soil, allowing the fruit to grow straight and uniform. * Growth: Characterized by faster maturity compared to other carrot varieties. * Productivity: The 400-gram pack provides a very large number of seeds, ideal for commercial agricultural production requiring high planting density. * Cultivation and care tips: * Soil preparation: This is the most important factor for the success of Nantes carrots; the soil must be loose and free of stones or solid clumps to ensure straight and beautiful fruits. Heavy clay soil may cause the carrots to grow deformed or forked. * Planting: Seeds are directly sown into the permanent ground (transplanting is not possible for carrots). * Thinning: When seedlings appear, thinning should be done (removing some crowded seedlings) to allow the carrots to reach their full size without competition. * Watering: Carrots need continuous moisture until germination, then deep watering is preferred to ensure roots grow downward. * Storage of the pack: Carrot seeds are sensitive to humidity, so the 400-gram pack should be kept in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight glass or plastic container with a small silica gel packet to absorb moisture if planning multiple uses. * Technical tip for farmers: Nantes carrots prefer moderate climates; very high temperatures during maturity may affect their sweetness. Therefore, it is recommended to plant them in fall and winter seasons for the best marketing quality.
