Cultivation
Dordogne is a rare variety among vegetable crops, undemanding to the qualitative composition of the soil. Seeds germinate and produce a steady crop on heavy, dense soils. A necessary requirement is deep autumn plowing: in favorable years, the roots reach a length of 30 cm.
Presowing fertilization, fertilizing during the growing season, measures for soil aeration affect the increase in crop yield. On heavy clay soils with an insufficient amount of compost and humus, it is recommended to make rotted hardwood sawdust from autumn.
Seed germination ranges from 95-98%. On a garden bed, where every seed, when sown by a conductor, knows its place, this guarantees the required planting density without bald spots and excessive thickening, which leads to deformation and shredding of fruits.
Seed material preparation begins in the autumn: experienced gardeners recommend long-term pre-sowing hardening of carrot seeds with frost. Seed treatment to destroy pathogenic microflora is not always required. Seed growers make a warning label on the package, if before packaging the complex processing of seeds is carried out.
Dordogne carrots are agricultural crops that can manage with rare irrigation. Full vegetation will be provided by repeated loosening, mulching of the ridges when the soil dries, including both compost and freshly mowed grass.
To avoid damage to the fruit, it is permissible to harvest the root crops on the household plot without digging, pulling the vegetables out of the ground by the tops. The plant is connected to the root firmly, does not come off.
