CARROT CULTIVAR TRIAL SEASONAL SUMMARY - 2014

The start to the growing season brought fluctuating air temperatures for the month of May followed by near seasonal temperatures and

timely precipitation. Compared to the previous 10 year averages, air temperatures in 2014 were average for May (13.8°C), June (19.4°C), August

(19.2°C) and September (15.7°C), and below average for July (19.2°C) and above average for October (10.5°C). The 10 year average temperatures

are: May 13.2°C, June 18.5°C, July 20.9°C, August 19.5°C, September 15.6°C and October 9.4°C. Monthly rainfall was below the 10 year

average for May (58 mm), July (92 mm) and August (63 mm), above average for June(88 mm) and September (113 mm) and average for October

(67 mm). The 10 year rainfall averages are: May 71 mm, June 71 mm, July 95 mm, August 73 mm, September 76 mm and October 68 mm.

The carrot trial was seeded on May 21st through the 23

rd, a week earlier then in 2013. Soil moisture levels were good and temperatures

were near the seasonal average. A nice rainfall (13 mm) on May 27 provided good moisture for seed germination. Plant stands and vigor were

good. Seasonal temperatures throughout the entire summer along with adequate rainfall allowed the carrots to establish and grow well for the rest

of the season. When the carrots were pulled for Grower Field Day on September 4, most cultivars where a good length, good weight and quality

was good too.

Herbicide applications provided good weed control throughout the entire season. The pre-emergence application of Gesagard did a great

job cleaning up early weeds. Two Lorox + Assist Oil applications on June 20 and July 5 were applied and did a good job of taking out most of the

weeds. The trial was hand weeded throughout the rest of the season to keep it free of weeds.

Carrot weevils were first found on May 29 in traps at the Muck Station. Carrot weevil numbers quickly accumulated to the second

economical threshold of 5.5 within a week and then steadily increased throughout the season. Carrot weevil numbers were very high for the 2014

season, higher compared to the last four years. These high numbers of weevils translated to noticeable damage in the field. The damage was spread

throughout the trial with visible plant death occurring at the 4 to 6 true leaf stage. Carrot weevil damage was high at harvest with a high incidence

of weevil damage. One application of Imidan in late June appeared to give only limited protection. Carrot rust fly emergence first appeared on

June 5. This was similar to last year. The first generation peak occurred on June 23 just at the economical threshold of 0.2 flies/trap/day. A second

larger spike in carrot rust fly numbers occurred on July 10 with 0.93 flies/trap/day. Several smaller peaks occurred with most peaks just reaching

the economical threshold of 0.2 flies/trap/day. Carrot rust fly damage was low at harvest but this was higher than observed in the last few years.

Aster leaf hopper numbers were moderate throughout the entire season but aster yellows infection was very low.

CARROT CULTIVAR TRIAL SEASONAL SUMMARY – 2014 – continued

Alternaria and cercospora leaf blights where at manageable levels throughout the growing season. Only two fungicide applications were

applied to control any blight that may have been present, and these applications kept leaf blight below economical thresholds. In order to observe

cultivar tolerance to both pathogens, regular fungicide sprays were discontinued in late August. Throughout the months of September & October,

leaf blight incidence steadily increased. Most cultivars were still at manageable levels of blight infection at harvest in October, and these

differences in the incidence of leaf blight infections were noted among cultivars. On Grower Field Day in early September, the quality, weight and

length of carrots were good and the majority of cultivars had a low number of forked and/or split carrots. Bolting was noted in the trial with

several cultivars having a few seeders (1-3 on average).

Weather conditions in October were favourable for harvest. Harvest began on the October 22 and continued for 5 more days. Carrots

appeared to be of good diameter, good quality, a low level of forked carrots was found at harvest. When yield samples were taken there did appear

to be an increase in split carrots found. There did not appear to be many incidences of sclerotinia, and only a few small pockets were found.

Several of the cultivars in the trial had seeders occurring but in very low numbers. As we pulled them, all the Jumbo cultivars appeared to have

good lengths, and yields appeared to be slightly higher than in the previous year. The carrots were placed in the Filacell storage immediately after

harvest.

At evaluation in early December, it was confirmed that this year’s trial had higher yields than in 2013. Quality was good with very few

issues present. The weights of marketable carrots were average to slightly above average. The percentage of culled carrots was similar to previous

years. A higher percentage of splits were found with forking and small undersized carrots making up the rest of the culls. The incidence of rot was

low and was cultivar specific. The incidence of cavity spot was higher than average in most cultivars. The severity of cavity spot was on average a

light/medium lesion, with approximately 75% infection rate, which is a slight increase compared to last year. The number of lesions per root also

slightly increased compared to previous years. The majority of cultivars had better uniformity of shape compared to the last two years. In general,

all cultivars had average to good lengths and widths. A few cultivars may have not been 100% mature at harvest with some tips remaining pointy,

not filled out and slightly yellow. The uniformity of lengths and to a lesser extent widths was more even than last year. Exterior colour was very

good among all cultivars. Exterior colour was the best seen in several years. Most of the jumbo cultivars had less visible lenticels. Generally, most

cultivars had a smooth feel to the skin. Interior colour blending was good, with very few carrots found with a ring around the core or a translucent

core. Green shoulders were not present in most carrot cultivars, and if found were just starting to develop. Insect damage had significantly

increased compared to previous years. Carrot weevil damage was a big concern at evaluation. The number of carrots infected with aster yellows

was close to zero. To summarize, the carrot variety trial in 2014 had good yields and good quality.

CARROT CULTIVAR TRIALS - 2014

MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

Fertilizer:

40 kg/ha Nitrogen (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate 27-0-0) + 100 kg/ha Phosphorous (MAP 11-52-0) + 200 kg/ha Potassium (Potash 0-0-50) +

100 kg/ha of K-Mag (0-0-22) and 3.5 kg/ha of Boron (15%) was worked into the soil.

Seeded:

All trials were seeded on 21 to 23 May using a V-Belt seeder equipped with a 5 cm wide scatter shoe. A germination rate of 95 to 100%, a target

of 26-22 seeds per foot was desired for Cello type carrots and 15-18 seeds per foot for Jumbo type carrots. All trials were seeded on beds 86 cm

apart. The seeding rate was done according to percent germination. RIDOMIL 1G was applied at 25 kg/ha in the seed furrow. The Main Trial was

replicated three times and the Adaptation Trial was not replicated.

Weed Control:

Pre-emergence: 1 application: GESAGARD 480 at 7.0 L/ha on 26 May.

Post-emergence: 1 application: LOROX L at 250 ml/ha + ASSIST OIL at 1.0 L/ha on 20 June.

1 application: LOROX L at 500 ml/ha + ASSIST OIL at 1.0 L/ha on 5 July.

Minor Elements:

One foliar spray: Calcimax on 19 Aug (4.0 L/ha).

Two foliar sprays: Mag Max on 25 July (3.0 L/ha) and 19 Aug (4.0 L/ha).

Insect and Disease Control:

According to IPM recommendations.

IMIDAN 70 WP at 1.6 kg/ha on 25 June.

BRAVO at 2.5 L/ha + RIPCORD at 175 ml/ha and Minor Elements on 25 July.

CABRIO at 1.0 kg/ha and Minor Elements on 19 Aug.

CARROT CULTIVAR TRIALS - 2014 - continued

Harvest:
