Maestro Carrot F1 is a Nantes-type variety with a medium-late cycle, producing smooth, cylindrical roots with a bright orange color, 18-20 cm long.
Botanical name Daucus carota, family Apiaceae. It is an F1 hybrid with medium-height, fairly dense foliage and a fine but sturdy leaf attachment that supports the root well during development.
Sow directly in the field from early March to late June, in rows 30 cm apart, burying the seeds about 1 cm deep.
It prefers loose, deep soil free of stones, which could deform the root. Seedlings must be thinned while still small, to obtain regularly shaped roots of uniform diameter.
Its medium-late cycle makes it suitable for both fresh consumption and storage, thanks to the good tolerance to silvering typical of this hybrid.
Regular watering, without excessive swings, favors the formation of smooth, uniform roots, avoiding surface cracks that would affect their commercial appearance.
It shows good tolerance to alternaria leaf blight and powdery mildew, as well as fair resistance to cavity spot and carrot fly, features that make it easier to grow.
The roots are rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, as well as fiber and potassium; their smooth, uniform structure makes them particularly suited to both fresh and processed consumption.
