A durable mid-season Chantenay-type carrot with excellent flesh density and storage stability.
Description
Technical profile of the Irkut carrot
The 'Irkut' variety, developed by the Russian Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing (Zhirkova N.I., Leunov V.I.), is a representative of the Chantenay type, specifically optimized for long-term storage. The key advantage of this variety is the synergy between tissue density and biological maturity (100–110 days), classifying it as a reliable mid-season cultivar with high storage potential.
Root Architecture
The conical shape, characteristic of the Chantenay type, facilitates both machine harvesting and optimal flesh density. With a weight of 150–200 grams and a length of 15–17 cm, the roots demonstrate high marketability and consistent development. The vibrant orange color indicates a balanced carotenoid content, which is essential for preserving nutritional value during winter storage.
Storage Engineering
Why does 'Irkut' perform reliably in storage? Firstly, the Chantenay genetics are less prone to cracking during fluctuating soil moisture levels. Secondly, the blunt-tipped morphology minimizes mechanical damage during harvest—a primary pathway for pathogen ingress. In storage facilities, the variety maintains low decay rates, making it a professional choice for growers targeting off-season market supply.
