It appeared on the Russian market 17 years ago. During this time, the hybrid gained immense popularity and still attracts great attention from gardeners across the country.

Characteristics of the variety Canada

This hybrid has several positive qualities that enable many summer residents and gardeners to harvest an impressive crop of root crops.

The manufacturer claims that the hybrid Canada is one of the most unpretentious. These carrots grow to large sizes even in heavy soil, which other varieties cannot boast of. If the weather conditions are not too favorable, the gardener still has a chance to reap a decent harvest.

Variety Canada is resistant to most of the diseases that are characteristic of this type of root crop. Carrots do not suffer from florescence and other ailments.

Carrot fruits

The root crop can be grown on the territory of most of Russia. Carrots will endure all the vagaries of the weather, including drought. The variety is considered medium late, however, many gardeners say that the fruits ripen much earlier than similar hybrids.

For any variety of carrots, soil composition plays an important role. Despite the fact that the Canada hybrid is considered unpretentious, good places for planting seeds should also be chosen here. Clay soil is absolutely not suitable for growing. But hybrid Canada even in such difficult conditions gives a positive result.

If such soils prevail on the site, they can be made more suitable for growing carrots with the help of coarse-grained river sand, sawdust, compost and humus, as well as rotted manure.

You can increase the acidity of the soil with the help of dolomite flour and chalk.

In no case should fresh manure be introduced, as it is detrimental to carrots. Even the unpretentious variety Canada in this case will not produce a crop.

The best option for a hybrid of this type would be light loam and sandy loamy soils. Here you can harvest a huge crop from every garden.

Description of fruits

With proper care, the Canada variety produces a huge amount of root crops. The fruits grow neat, even and beautiful in appearance: the color is bright orange. Photos of the fruits can be found below.

The taste qualities of the fruits of the Canada variety are simply excellent. Root vegetables are sweet and high in beta-carotene. This is a great option for baby food and replenishment of vitamins in adults.

Carrots can be used for salads, hot dishes and fresh consumption. Root crops of this variety grow quite juicy. Therefore, Canada carrots can be used to make fresh juices.

Rules for growing a hybrid

To obtain high yields, it is necessary not only to select the right soil, but also to pay attention to other important points. Sowing seeds should be carried out at the end of April. It is best to choose beds for this, where onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini or potatoes grew last season. But after celery, parsley and bell pepper, planting carrots is not recommended.

Planting depth for this hybrid should be small. It is enough to make grooves of 2 cm, where Canada carrot seeds are planted at a distance of 1 cm from each other. 20 cm should be left between rows. In total, about 1 seeds should fit per 100 m².

After the planting material germinates, it is necessary to provide the plant with timely weeding, loosening and hilling (if the tops protrude too much from the ground). Carrots love moisture, so the plant needs to provide high-quality watering. It is very important when growing weeds in a timely manner.

You can weed the beds already at the stage of the beginning of the growth of carrots. If you do not remove excess plants, then there will not be enough useful substances for the development of the root crop in the soil.

Loosening is necessary to saturate the fruit with oxygen. If a dense crust forms on the surface of the soil, carrots will not be able to develop normally. As a result, there will be no high yield.

carrot harvest

Reviews about this variety of carrots are mostly positive:

Valentina, Voronezh: “A very good variety, but, like many types of carrots with a high content of beta-carotene, this one is spoiled by a carrot fly. I plant a root crop next to onions. Pests bypass such a planting, and as a result, an excellent harvest is obtained.

Vladimir, Volgograd: “The hybrid is high-yielding and gives a lot of fruits. In order for carrots to grow large and juicy, high-quality watering is needed. Particular attention should be paid to this moment during the drought period.
