Carrot இரகங்கள்
(Daucus carota var. sativus)
Carrots have a swollen taproot that can be up to 25 cm long. This is generally a temperate or high altitude tropical crop and is biennial. But the variety ‘Uberlandia’ does well in the lower tropics and can set seed in the same season. Carrot roots taste best when harvested in cooler weather.

Scarlet Nantes
An open pollinated carrot that is nearly coreless, orange, and averages 15cm long. 75 days to maturity. This is perhaps the best variety for cooler areas in the tropics or highland areas and also does well in clay soil.
