A comprehensive, dynamic range of solutions for every market
Our teams went to the British Carrot Growers Association Demonstration Day to promote the wide variety available in our Carrot range, a comprehensive, dynamic range comprising over 50 varieties and 6 types of carrot, including Chantenay, Nantaise and Berlicum.
The 26 carrot varieties presented all stand out for their disease resistance, yield quality, range of colors, roots, and uniformity.
One of our most recent innovations showcased, the TERAPUR variety, was a great success. A plant based solution following agroecological principles, this ‘trap crop’ is intended to give the European market an effective way to control Heterodera carotae, the carrot nematode.
