The ABK type BB CAR 0283, is a new and versatile variety and can also be seen. It is a cylindrical carrot that can be used as a snack carrot due to its sweet taste. The variety is also suitable for A-carrot and fine industrial carrots.
Newcomer for the processing industry is Flakkee type BB CAR 0567 with strong and healthy foliage, which is strong against green heads and has good storage properties. The beautiful internal color makes this variety extremely suitable for juice, slices, grated roots and for the fresh market in the coarser segment of C-D carrots.
Range of strong bean varieties expanded
In the range of strong bean varieties for the processing industry, bakker brothers added a number of new varieties. Two important varieties are Caledonia and Elba, which guarantee a high percentage of very fine, nicely grouped beans (6.5 - 8 mm) with excellent quality. Both can be sowed under difficult conditions and have a good return. For the Òne beans (8 - 9 mm) the very early variety Tempo (90 days) is recommended. This bean has excellent results and produces quality pulses with a beautiful uniform color. In the fine segment, the Saba and Lavezzi varieties are winners for the fresh market as well as for industry. Both varieties have a good potential return and are real all-rounders.
