Bag seeds Carrot Touchon BIO

This traditional carrot variety forms semi-long, cylindrical roots, allowing for early harvesting

Carrots and onions form a happy marriage! The onion fly is repelled by the smell of the carrot and, conversely, the carrot fly is repelled by the smell of the onion. The carrot also has a beneficial effect if it is sown between the rows of leeks. It helps to fight the leek moth. The latter also keeps the fly away from the carrot. The capuchin and carnation of India are also good allies of the carrot to keep flies away, in addition to bringing color into the vegetable garden. The carrot fly (Psila rosae) is a fearsome insect with the appearance of a small black fly with an orange head, measuring about 5 mm. It attacks carrots, but also parsnips, celery or parsley by laying its eggs right next to vegetables, on the ground. The larvae will then devour the roots of the plants by digging tunnels from the surface of the soil to their tips. The roots end up rotting. It is all the more difficult to get rid of this pest because its larvae are able to hibernate in the soil. A rule should not be overlooked when sowing carrots: they should not be planted on the same plot as previous carrots. They may become ill, vegetate, be more susceptible to pests and, above all, produce a disappointing harvest. This is why it is best to avoid sowing dill to carrots. Although it attracts flies, keeping them away from carrots, both plants are part of the same family. So they have a hard time supporting each other. It is better to leave at least 1.5m between the two species! Carrots, on the other hand, don't really get along with beets and mint
