There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less provided that every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the taproot. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: too tight rotations, tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, while Septoria causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable, this effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973212344515,"sku":"SATI-KA23-5","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973212377283,"sku":"SATI-KA23-10","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973212410051,"sku":"SATI-KA23-25","price":27.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973212442819,"sku":"SATI-KA23-50","price":46.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973212475587,"sku":"SATI-KA23-100","price":68.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973212508355,"sku":"SATI-KA23-250","price":131.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973212541123,"sku":"SATI-KA23-500","price":230.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973212573891,"sku":"SATI-KA23-1KG","price":374.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 kg","offer_id":42973212606659,"sku":"sati-ka23-2.5kg","price":872.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":42973212639427,"sku":"sati-ka23-5kg","price":1713.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973212672195,"sku":"SATI-KA23","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/507.jpg?v=1710418956"},{"product_id":"carota-rodelika-sativa-ka32","title":"Carrot Rodelika KS - ka32","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Umbelliferae family groups together over 2,000 plant species, mainly herbaceous. There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less provided that every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the taproot. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: too tight rotations, tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, Septoria on the other hand causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable. This effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003cbr\u003e Cissone 20 February 2008\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973213327555,"sku":"SATI-KA32-5","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973213360323,"sku":"SATI-KA32-10","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973213393091,"sku":"SATI-KA32-25","price":27.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973213425859,"sku":"SATI-KA32-50","price":46.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973213458627,"sku":"SATI-KA32-100","price":68.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973213491395,"sku":"SATI-KA32-250","price":131.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973213524163,"sku":"SATI-KA32-500","price":230.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973213556931,"sku":"SATI-KA32-1KG","price":374.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 kg","offer_id":42973213589699,"sku":"sati-ka32-2.5kg","price":872.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":42973213622467,"sku":"sati-ka32-5kg","price":1713.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973213655235,"sku":"SATI-KA32","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/508.jpg?v=1710418966"},{"product_id":"carota-de-colmar-a-coeur-rouge-2-sativa-ka50","title":"Filling carrot with red color 2 - ka50","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Umbelliferae family groups together over 2,000 plant species, mainly herbaceous. There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less as long as every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the tap root. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: too tight rotations, tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, Septoria on the other hand causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable, this effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973219553475,"sku":"SATI-KA50-5","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973219586243,"sku":"SATI-KA50-10","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973219619011,"sku":"SATI-KA50-25","price":23.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973219651779,"sku":"SATI-KA50-50","price":40.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973219684547,"sku":"SATI-KA50-100","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973219717315,"sku":"SATI-KA50-250","price":109.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973219750083,"sku":"SATI-KA50-500","price":182.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973219782851,"sku":"SATI-KA50-1KG","price":309.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973219815619,"sku":"SATI-KA50","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/512.jpg?v=1710419000"},{"product_id":"carota-gniff-sativa-ka51","title":"Carrot Gniff - ka51","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Umbelliferae family groups together over 2,000 plant species, mainly herbaceous. There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less as long as every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the taproot. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: too tight rotations, tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, Septoria on the other hand causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable. This effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973222994115,"sku":"SATI-KA51-5","price":8.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973223026883,"sku":"SATI-KA51-10","price":16.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973223059651,"sku":"SATI-KA51-25","price":25.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973223092419,"sku":"SATI-KA51-50","price":42.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973223125187,"sku":"SATI-KA51-100","price":66.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973223157955,"sku":"SATI-KA51-250","price":137.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973223190723,"sku":"SATI-KA51-500","price":241.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973223223491,"sku":"SATI-KA51-1KG","price":391.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973223256259,"sku":"SATI-KA51","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/5858.jpg?v=1710419016"},{"product_id":"carota-kuttiger-sativa-ka70","title":"Kuttiger Carrot - ka70","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Umbelliferae family groups together over 2,000 plant species, mainly herbaceous. There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less as long as every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the tap root. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: too tight rotations, tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, Septoria on the other hand causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable, this effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973225484483,"sku":"SATI-KA70-5","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973225517251,"sku":"SATI-KA70-10","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973225550019,"sku":"SATI-KA70-25","price":27.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973225582787,"sku":"SATI-KA70-50","price":46.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973225615555,"sku":"SATI-KA70-100","price":68.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973225648323,"sku":"SATI-KA70-250","price":131.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973225681091,"sku":"SATI-KA70-500","price":230.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973225713859,"sku":"SATI-KA70-1KG","price":374.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973225746627,"sku":"SATI-KA70","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/514.jpg?v=1710419027"},{"product_id":"carota-jaune-du-doubs-sativa-ka71","title":"Yellow Carrot from Doubs - ka71","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Umbelliferae family groups together over 2,000 plant species, mainly herbaceous. There are some bushy forms and tree-like forms are totally absent. The umbellifer in general has archaic, almost primitive features, the epigeal part of the plant has simple structures that tend to be thinned, almost becoming rarefied in the air. The leaves represent the organ of cooperation with air and water, light and darkness. In the umbelliferae we witness this extension, to the extreme, of the leaves which, like fingers, open to the chemical ether and the ether of light. What is born in these articulated leaves, folds into the terrestrial and is jealously guarded in the ground, giving life to strong and fleshy roots. And then the flower: it is almost a tribute to the air, forming umbels and open domes in well-spread planes, in a multitude of white or slightly green dots, like a cloud of stars. Flowers that express their detachment from the water element through linear radial shapes and completely devoid of fleshiness, the fruits themselves are small dry achenes, slightly curved into a crescent. In contrast to this very mineral aerial rarefaction of stem, leaves and flowers, there is the rising movement of radical terrestrial energy in the form of gums and mucilages. The formation of latex, so typical of the Umbelliferae, is the expression of the meeting between two very strong tendencies: the incarnation of the elements air and light which normally proceed to the induction of synthesis of oils and resins, descends to meet the terrestrial pole strongly rooted in the soil. From this amalgam the \"mercurial\" processes that give rise to gum resins begin. It is a powerful alchemy, not surprisingly, in fact, among the Umbelliferae there are also numerous highly poisonous species (let's remember Socrates' hemlock). \u003cbr\u003eThese plants find their perfect balance by mediating between two dichotomously opposite poles, root and flower, which profoundly embody two antagonistic forces and which nevertheless find total harmonious understanding in the plant organism. It is no wonder, therefore, that Umbelliferae are so important in therapeutic practice, precisely because of their rebalancing abilities, particularly at the level of the glands and in all processes of secretion and metabolic excretion.\u003cbr\u003e The carrot belongs to the Daucus genus and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is the best known food plant offered by this family, but not the only one. Fennel, celery, cumin, dill, parsley and various other consumable and aromatic species belong to the Umbelliferae. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays we are mistakenly led to identify food value with nutritional value. Dieticians, specialized magazines and labels are busy providing us with a list of the fat, sugar, protein and mineral salt content of what we eat. This is reductive because the food value includes other aspects than the mere chemical composition. In particular, palatability is an important food value, today this aspect is delegated to advertising: palatability is disconnected from the food and is instead associated with the shape and color of the package or the lips of the model advertising the product on TV. But if this applies above all to processed products, the situation changes for fresh fruit and vegetables. And we cannot ignore the visual and olfactory impact of the carrot. With its yellow-orange color and its fresh, mineral aroma, the carrot evokes visions of earth and sun, of health and strength, like a dawn or spring, it is edible light on our plate. \u003cbr\u003eThe yellow-orange fleshy root of the carrot contains from 6 to 12% soluble or organic sugars in gums and mucilages, never starch which is completely absent in this family. Carrots contain beta-carotene and are therefore considered rich in antioxidant properties. This means that if included regularly in the diet, they provide real prevention against cancer, infections, eye degeneration, lung disease and hardening of the arteries. I speak of true prevention to distinguish it from false prevention, which too often is nothing more than early diagnosis. That fake prevention that goes through piles of expensive tests prescribed periodically by doctors who no longer even look us in the face but who, like traffic policemen, divert us towards x-rays, MRIs, blood and urine tests, gastroscopies and so on. Beta-carotene is not destroyed by cooking but, once ingested, transforms into vitamin A in only the quantity necessary for the body itself, thus avoiding overloads. This \"wisdom\" of the body resides in the liver, the more tired and battered it is, the less it will be able to regulate this fundamental balance. But when we say that carrots are rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene is the provitamin from which vitamin A is derived), what exactly do we mean? All vegetables and fruit (except apples) contain, more or less, vitamin A: tomato 1,300 IU, celery 50 IU, peas 500 IU, cabbage 2,100 IU, lettuce 500 IU. The carrot 20,000 IU, a big difference. The content of mineral salts is also quite high, potassium is present in almost double the quantity compared to the vast majority of vegetables (230 ppm), potassium has a positive action on the heart, on muscles in general and on the elasticity of the arteries. The content of phosphorus, manganese and calcium also exceeds the average level of other vegetables. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the vegetable garden, the carrot benefits from intercropping with spinach and liliaceae in general (garlic, onion, shallot, ...). Carrot and onion protect each other from parasites, but they also know how to share space without annoying each other: the first pushes its root deep, while the second expands horizontally in the ground. However, intercropping with beans and legumes in general, and with peppers and lettuces with which it shares numerous soil pathogens, should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSeed germination is rather slow and the plumetta is extremely fragile in the early stages. It is therefore necessary to pay great attention to the seedbed which must be soft and well ventilated. Any disturbing action during the cultivation cycle should also be avoided, as far as possible. Thinning and weeding constitute a source of stress for the crop, therefore it is better to try to sow sparsely and favor weeding to eliminate weeds. The carrot loves deep and loose soil, exploits the organic richness well, but the hot bed, or in any case fertilization with fresh organic substance, must be absolutely avoided. In this sense, the correct use of preparation 500 on the soil is very important, even more so if the carrot cultivation was preceded by legumes or green manure crops. Fertilization with well humified material coming from the biodynamic pile. Heavy or skeletal soil induces the formation of deformed or double taproots. Since seed germination is very slow, a temporary green mulch can be created to avoid the formation of crust. On small surfaces, spreading a layer of sand is also conceivable. In biodynamic agriculture, seed bathing is also recommended. For carrots in particular, we recommend bathing in a valerian preparation, prepared as usual. The seed must be immersed for an hour and stirred so that the seeds do not form lumps. Then the seeds should be taken and spread out on absorbent paper in a shady place to dry. Sowing must be done within the second day of the bath. This practice has an intense action on the seeds, stimulates germination and significantly strengthens the development of young plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe optimal temperature for this plant is between 16 and 18°C, an optimal situation also for the germination of numerous spontaneous adventitious herbs. False sowing can drastically reduce the weed problem in the early stages of cultivation. The cultivation cycle lasts from 100 to 130 days depending on the variety and the climatic trend, therefore more interventions must be foreseen for the elimination of weeds through green mulching, earthing up for row plantations, and weeding. Among the most easily available varieties are the Rodelika with a rather long, aromatic and vigorous cycle, the early Flakkèe carrot with an extremely large and elongated root, the Nantes type with large size and intense colour, very productive, the Naples carrot with a very long, the Albenga carrot and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGreen mulch has undoubted advantages by avoiding the formation of surface crust, keeping soil humidity and temperature more constant, improving germination (due to the previous effects) and slowing down the growth of weeds. For green mulch (by \"green\" meaning the vegetal origin and not the color of the material) straw, wood chips and bark are suitable, grass should be avoided because even if dried it would tend to compact excessively (it is necessary to create a layer of several centimeters to obtain the mulching effect) creating an asphyxiated and unhealthy environment. It can be sown broadcast or in rows, in this case the distance between the rows is approximately 30-35 cm for single rows or less provided that every 3-4 rows there is more space for passage. The carrot is also suitable for sowing on trunks or porches, the advantage in this case is the recovery of space, better exposure to sunlight if the trunks are oriented to the south-east and good water drainage, particularly useful if the soil it tends to be heavy (a situation which in any case does not favor cultivation). For those who have the possibility of following the lunar calendar, the suitable period for sowing carrots is in the ascending moon (the movement from the southern lunistice to the northern lunistice gives favorable impulses to the awakening of the seed) and harvesting in the descending moon (its shelf life is improved and shelf life). The influence of the lunations is less strong, however sowing during the waning moon is preferable. The carrot is typically considered a \"root plant\" therefore earth days (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) and water days (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) are to be preferred. However, I like to remember Liebig's so-called \"minimum principle\": the growth of plants is determined by the element that is present in the smallest quantity compared to requirements. It is also known as the “bucket principle” because it is with this image that \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"left: -3106px; top: -3555px; position: absolute;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou result looked The \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-u-s.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.floridadetective.net\/nolvadex-for-sale-us.html\u003c\/a\u003e drying this are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.haghighatansari.com\/order-levaflaxcin.php\u003c\/a\u003e this facing the they \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www .ferroformmetals.com\/arimidex-visa\u003c\/a\u003e because the color excess \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\"\u003ehttp:\/\/gogosabah.com\/tef\/biaxin-canada.html\u003c\/a\u003e harmful this a get \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.galvaunion.com\/nilo\/best-alternative-to-penicillin.php\"\u003ebest alternative to penicillin\u003c\/a\u003e durable expensive.

The art of agriculture will be lost due to ignorant, unscientific and short-sighted teachers who will convince farmers to place all their hopes in universal remedies, which do not exist in nature. By following their advice, dazzled by ephemeral results, farmers will forget the soil and lose sight of its intrinsic value and influence....\". Yet one thing does not exclude the other and in a certain sense we can keep this bucket principle in mind to remind ourselves of the need for an expanded vision of everything that concerns our Earth, our company, our field, the our carrot crop. And remind us of all the elements that contribute to the good health of our plant. Of course we will not think of the \"elements\" in the reductive and empty terms of N, P and K, but we will think of the vitality of the soil and the organic substance, we will think of the cosmic impulses, of associations and rotations and of everything that makes up good agricultural practice. That good agricultural practice which is peasant wisdom and plant intelligence, two values ​​that were stolen from us by the Green Revolution through synthetic fertilizers and pesticides (the universal solvers!) and hybrid seeds. For GMOs we can consider ourselves under siege but not yet completely defeated... who knows for how long. And we will also remember that our culture is not something assembled on an assembly line but the result of a fabric of forces, impulses and elements that strongly interact with each other. For example, in \"dead\" soil cosmic impulses will have little influence, just as the abundance of water enhances the influences of the lunations on plants. \u003cbr\u003eThe carrot is subject to attacks by various pathogenic fungi affecting the tap root. The onset of these pathologies usually denotes some error in crop management: rotations that are too tight, a tumultuous or chaotic nitrogen cycle, rotation with unfavorable crops (legumes in general), heavy soils,... But it can also be a question of the health of the seed or of climate trends. In these cases it is necessary first of all to investigate the causes of the onset of the disease and if possible eliminate them; if it is a question of excess humidity due to excessive volumes of watering the state of things can be changed; if it is a question of too much rain it can be take advantage of the experience for the following year, perhaps trying to give a slight slope to the ground to facilitate drainage.\u003cbr\u003e The fungi that can affect the carrot are various:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A: Pythium,\u003cbr\u003e B: Phythoptora,\u003cbr\u003e C: Rhizoctonia,\u003cbr\u003e D: Sclerotinia,\u003cbr\u003e E: Stempylium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A: Meloydogine,\u003cbr\u003e B: Heterodera,\u003cbr\u003e C: Streptomyces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe drawing allows the symptom to be taken to the extreme in its characteristics, in reality the differences are not always so clear and marked. It is usually easier to make the diagnosis on recent infections and on symptoms in the early stages; along the course the tissues tend to necrotise and be invaded by secondary and saprophytic pathogens. The macroscopic diagnosis, i.e. by eye, is reasonably reliable, but only laboratory analysis with isolation on selective substrates and microscopic analysis can give the certainty (and not always) that it is this or that fungus. One must ask oneself whether it is of any use to know how to recognize one pathogen from another, I mean apart from the technical consultant who, by showing off a bit of Latinorum, will leave the farmer stunned. Ultimately the indications will be more or less the same: use of healthy seed, extensive rotations, frequent and small volume irrigation, ... And it is partly true. However, some information can be drawn that may be useful. For example, Meloydogine and Heterodera are nematodes, we know of these organisms that they remain for very long periods in the infested soil, but they also propagate extremely slowly, expanding like wildfire. They can seriously affect lettuce, strawberry, garlic and onion. If it were decided, despite the presence of some plants affected by nematodes in the crop, to let some individuals flower for seed selection, the seed of asymptomatic carrot plants would be healthy. Instead, we should pay close attention to lily bulbs present in the surrounding area and avoid using them as propagation material for subsequent campaigns. On land where nematode attacks have occurred, you can consider making a green manure with a biocidal species such as horseradish and mustard or Brassica napus which has a more repellent than strictly biocidal action. The opinions on the use of plants with biocidal action in organic and biodynamic agriculture are rather controversial as some support the partially selective effectiveness of the substances released into the soil (isothiocyanates, nitriles and thiocyanates), others maintain that this practice is nothing more than the bad copy of fumigations with classic synthetic geodisinfestants, with the same disadvantages and less effectiveness. Pythium and Phythoptora are Oomycete mushrooms, that is, rather \"primitive\" mushrooms. Despite having an optimum temperature of 21°C, they are also active at rather low temperatures, managing to give rise to very early infections. They cause vitreous necrotic lesions. They are closely related to water and only develop infections in the presence of a lot of humidity, stagnation and heavy soil. Their zoospores can be carried by rainwater and irrigation water and given that they are polyphagous fungi (attacks Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Composites), the management of irrigation water is important, especially if the flow system is used, so as not to spread the infection from one crop to another. Both of these fungi can attack the host only through microlesions of the epidermis. Therefore all cultivation operations that can stress the taproot in this sense (thinning, weeding,...) predispose its establishment. Since Oomycetes are strongly linked to the presence of free water, if irrigation is carried out by flow, cultivation on trunks or porches is conceivable, so that the humidity rises from the furrow to the root by capillarity, without creating stagnation at the level of the tap root. same. Oomycetes are extremely sensitive to copper metal, but aerial treatments have little effectiveness, except to avoid its spread following heavy rain or sprinkler irrigation. Macerations with lilies (garlic and onion) are very effective for wetting the collar, these baths also have a tanning effect on the seed. Rhizoctonia sp.p is another extremely polyphagous fungus that can affect countless horticultural and non-horticultural species. Less tied to water than the Oomycetes, it is still a fungus favored by humidity and the state of chaos in the nitrogen cycle. It manages to remain viable for long periods on crop residues, even at rather high temperatures (55°C) therefore it is preferable not to throw plant material that is suspected to be infected by Rhizoctonia into the compost (if it is true that good compost reaches even 60° There is always a certain approximation). While Oomycetes can also attack the aerial part of the plant through splashes of water, Rhizoctonia is exclusively linked to the root. The affected tissues tend to take on purple shades. The persistence of Rhizoctonia in the soil is very long, up to twenty years. It is therefore clear that rotation and turnover, although important, cannot alone eradicate the pathogen, also considering the large number of host species. In this sense, the vitality of the soil and the healthiness of the crop (understood as the absence of stress) are of fundamental importance. In fact, there are numerous antagonistic fungi that limit the virulent development of Rhizoctonia, in particular Trichoderma hartianum. Antagonistic fungi are saprophytic telluric organisms that derive their sustenance from the root exudates of plants. They are not symbionts as the plant does not derive any direct benefit from their presence. However, these organisms occupy the root surface and physically prevent the pathogen from establishing itself, a sort of \"late come, bad stay\" in the fungal version. While it is true that for many years these antagonistic fungi have been on the market in various revitalizing formulations, it must be remembered that Trichoderma, like other useful microorganisms, are naturally present in the soil and that only a little careful agricultural practice has led to their disappearance. Herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, excessive movement of the agricultural soil, monoculture, bare soil,... are some of the reasons why the \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -2886px; top: -3088px; position: absolute;\"\u003eWith mother This hyperpigmentation \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/houseofstanisic-lu-fi.com\/muvi\/wellbutrin-sr-reviews.html\"\u003eprescriptions by mail\u003c\/a\u003e and getting Vera acne darkness \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttp:\/\/remarkablesmedia.com\/ham\/viagra-free-sample-coupon.php\u003c\/a\u003e Do regardless.

It is in this sense that rotation (which favors radical renewal and biodiversity even in the land-based population), the preservation and increase of humus, the use of biodynamic preparations, green manure and grassing, etc... are highly effective in prevention. Mulching with bark and conifer needles disadvantages the fungus due to the tannins that it gradually releases during the carrot's vegetative cycle, in the first layers of the soil. Sclerotinia is easily recognizable because the fungus develops a whitish felt on the affected organs. It also affects numerous plants (celery, salads, nightshades,...). As the days pass, you will notice blackish grains (sclerosis) in the whitish mass that makes up the body of the mushroom. These are the resistance and propagation organs of the fungus and are extremely long-lived. Intercrops and successions with salads, which are very susceptible, must be absolutely avoided; the crop residues of the affected crops must absolutely be removed and destroyed. It may happen that carrots appear healthy when harvested and are stored. The infection thus continues in the warehouse until it generates unpleasant surprises. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \u003cp\u003eEarly crops are more subject to Sclerotinia than late ones, but this is a general consideration made on standard seasonal averages, while mild winters and very harsh springs can occur which would overturn what was previously said. There are still numerous other fungi that can affect the taproot: Verticillium, Chalaropsis, Thielaviopsis, Aspergillus, Botrytis, Alternaria, ... All these pathogens can attack the taproot in the field and continue the infection in storage. In conventional agriculture, geodisinfestants and various systemic fungicides are used to control these infections. But by pursuing this path the only solution is to achieve absolute sterility of the soil. In biodynamic agriculture, however, the objective is diametrically opposite, that is, to create such vital soil that pathogenic fungi do not find space for their development and that the plant is not in stressful conditions. In this regard, the varietal choice is very important: local types are to be preferred, as they are the result of a selection of individuals that are best suited to a specific location, in terms of climate and pedology. Numerous experiments are currently underway to verify the effectiveness of homeopathic compounds against these pathogens, both for use in the field and to increase shelf life in warehouses. \u003cbr\u003eThere are also some pathogenic fungi that attack the aerial part of the plant: Cercospora, Septoria, Erysiphe, Leivellula, Alternaria dauci. Cercospora and Septoria cause the appearance of small notches on the leaf edges (Cercospora causes light circular notches in the center and with a dark edge, Septoria on the other hand causes small patches that are initially yellowish and then sprinkled with small dark dots). Infections spread thanks to the wetting of the leaves, they appear early and usually on the youngest leaves. In both cases the mushrooms can be preserved on the seeds. A good control of the health of the crop is therefore necessary before allocating any plant to seed production. Powdery mildew (Erysiphe umbelliferarum) causes the appearance of grey-whitish spots, starting from the oldest and lowest leaves. It appears late in the season, when temperatures have significantly risen. For all these foliar diseases, intercropping with lily plants is useful as garlic and onion promote ventilation and therefore a less humid microclimate. They also release volatile sulfur-based compounds into the air that disturb disease agents. Air treatments with garlic and onion macerates are quite effective, even hydroalcoholic solutions of propolis demonstrate good fungicidal efficacy on the leaves. The horsetail decoction, distributed periodically, increases the resistance of plants to foliar and telluric diseases. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the most recurring problems on carrots we remember the fly Psilla rosae. It is a Diptera that has two generations a year. The adult is a small gnat, the female lays her eggs in spring (April, with the necessary variations depending on the latitude and seasonal trend). The eggs are laid in the soil a few millimeters deep near the collar of the carrot. The whitish, apodous larvae dig tunnels in the roots, which, once damaged, bifurcate or split or rot. Fly lesions are an excellent entry route for pathogenic fungi. The second generation of adults appears in midsummer, in July and August. By appropriately regulating the sowing time and the duration of the cultivation cycle of the chosen variety, it is possible to partially escape the infestation. Screening plants used in combination are very effective: garlic, onion and leek as well as marjoram. Remembering that Diptera are attracted by the color yellow, chromotropic traps of this color (plastic panels covered with glue) can be used to mass capture and reduce the adult population. Finally, spraying with garlic and onion decoctions is effective for its repellent action against the insect. For direct interventions, however, Quassia wood, neem oil and pyrethrum are effective. In this regard, however, it must be kept in mind that pyrethrum and Quassia act by contact, therefore the larvae underground or already penetrated into the root are not destroyed. Neem, on the other hand, has a certain systemic activity, but does not have a knockdown effect: it slows down and inhibits the harmful insect, making the plant less palatable. This effect manifests itself especially when the treatments are repeated several times over time (at least 2 or 3 interventions) this makes the product interesting because it can reach the insect where other products are ineffective but in case of serious attacks it is not timely at all. Absolutely ineffective is Bacillus thuringiensis which, let us remember, acts against lepidopterans: in the juvenile stage the larvae of lepidopterans possess several pairs of pseudolegs (e.g. the leek moth, the cabbage moth on cruciferous vegetables and the borer on pepper), while the larvae of Diptera do not have them. In any case, it must be kept in mind that the carrot is a plant that optimizes the translocation and storage of substances in the root, be they nutritional elements or catabolites of pesticides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the phytosanitary problems illustrated are the legacy of destructive and senseless agriculture. The selection of hyperproductive hybrids has provided the farmer with plants that are unbalanced in their aerial and terrestrial polarity. Furthermore, standardization leads to the cultivation of plants with characteristics and cycles that are often unsuitable for the place of planting (with consequent stress due to crop adaptability), the production push with irrigation and fertilization creates the conditions for the onset of diseases and pesticide treatments create a biological vacuum that favors yet other parasites. \u003cbr\u003eA careful choice of the variety, correct management of the fertility and vitality of the soil, the planning of rotations and intercropping, the use of biodynamic preparations, herbal teas, decoctions and macerates of local plants, are all practices of good agriculture low cost and highly effective in pursuing the objectives of a good farmer: obtaining the right remuneration from his work as a producer of healthy foods and guardian of the vitality of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SATIVA","offers":[{"title":"gr.5","offer_id":42973228302531,"sku":"SATI-KA71-5","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.10","offer_id":42973228335299,"sku":"SATI-KA71-10","price":12.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.25","offer_id":42973228368067,"sku":"SATI-KA71-25","price":27.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.50","offer_id":42973228400835,"sku":"SATI-KA71-50","price":46.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.100","offer_id":42973228433603,"sku":"SATI-KA71-100","price":68.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.250","offer_id":42973228466371,"sku":"SATI-KA71-250","price":131.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"gr.500","offer_id":42973228499139,"sku":"SATI-KA71-500","price":230.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg.1","offer_id":42973228531907,"sku":"SATI-KA71-1KG","price":374.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"sachet","offer_id":42973228564675,"sku":"SATI-KA71","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/5274\/0803\/products\/515.jpg?v=1710419037"},{"product_id":"rapa-tonda-bianca-dal-colletto-viola-sativa-ko55","title":"WHITE ROUND TURNIP WITH PURPLE COLLAR","description":"\u003cp\u003e Scientific name: \u003cem\u003eBrassica rapa L.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Family: Cruciferae – \u003cem\u003eBrassicaceae\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBotanical characters\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Turnip (Brassica rapa L. subsp. rapa Thell.) is a biennial cruciferous vegetable (annual in cultivation) native to Western Siberia.

In the second year it emits a branched flower stem about 80 cm high with lanceolate leaves; the hermaphroditic yellow flowers are gathered in umbrella-shaped racemes, have 4 petals, 6 stamens, a bilocular upper ovary which gives rise to a cylindrical silique, containing 15-20 spherical brown seeds.

The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very high number of apical meristems. \u003cbr\u003eThe actual inflorescence is raceme and comes from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb.

Alef. var. botrytis L.) is one of the most cultivated cruciferous vegetables in Italy, widespread above all in the central-southern regions and precisely in Campania, Marche, Tuscany, Lazio, Puglia and Sicily. Its origin is rather uncertain. The name derives from the Latin “caulis” (stem, cabbage) and “floris” (flower). In Italy it first established itself in Tuscany, as evidenced by some Medici paintings from the early eighteenth century where a cauliflower from the Arezzo area is portrayed and offered as a gift to Cosimo III. The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower is used both fresh and frozen, dehydrated and pickled.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePEDOCLIMATIC REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt prefers areas with a cool and humid climate. The most important climatic factor is temperature, both during the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase and before and after it. For early cultivars the optimal temperature for the formation of corymbs is around 17°C. With temperatures above 20°C the transition to the reproductive phase is delayed and the quality of the corymbs becomes poor. Even low temperatures can damage the plant during the various stages in which it is found. If the plant has formed 6-8 leaflets and is subjected to low temperatures, plants without inflorescence can be obtained. Frost causes the lumps that form the edible part to boil.\u003cbr\u003e It requires medium-textured soil and a high water level in the layer affected by the roots. Evapotranspiration is also high due to the notable transpiring surface of the leaf system. \u003cbr\u003eCultivation takes place at different times of the year, depending on the location and the cultivars used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCULTIVAR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The cultivars are distinguished based on whether or not cold is required for the formation of the corymb.

Among these we remember the hair, which consists in an early passage of the apical meristems of the corymb into floral structures. There are notable differences between cultivars and it is attributed to high temperatures, rapid growth, excess nitrogen and high air humidity. The \"buttoning\", which consists in a premature transition from the vegetative to the reproductive phase and affects the growth of the plants, which remain much smaller, including the corymb, which is not marketable. This phenomenon is strongly influenced by the conditions in which the plant is raised; in particular, transplanting with large seedlings, low temperatures and a humid or very dry environment, poor soil conditions (including salinity), scarcity of nitrogen, presence of an excessive number of weeds favor its appearance. Virescence or fraudescence, i.e. the appearance of small leaves on the surface of the corymb, is due to the return to the vegetative phase while the reproductive phase was in progress. It is favored by the occurrence of temperatures above 15-18°C, even if there is considerable variability between cultivars. Plants without corymbs, the so-called blind or atrophic cauliflowers, are also often noted.

The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very large number of apical meristems.\u003cbr\u003e The actual inflorescence is a raceme and arises from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb. As these peduncles elongate, they branch several times. The flowers of the first branches abort, and only those from the fourth to eighth order onward are fertile. The flowers are yellow and typical of cruciferous plants. Heterosexual fertilization is the predominant form. The fruits are siliques of varying shapes and lengths; they can contain up to 25 seeds, round, ranging in diameter from 1 to 2.5 mm, and reddish-brown or bluish, almost shiny.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"163\" width=\"155\" alt=\"Broccoli cabbage\" src=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-535 aligncenter\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Needs\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt prefers cool, humid climates, but the numerous existing varieties allow it to be grown throughout Italy.

Commonly the head (the set of florets) is called the top, hence probably the name \"cymosa\".\u003cbr\u003e Broccoli, although it belongs to the cauliflower species, is distinguished by its shoots or secondary inflorescences. It was probably precisely this peculiarity that determined the name of broccoli (brocco is the disused name for sprout).

The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower is a biennial herbaceous plant and has a not very deep tap root. On the erect stem (15 to 50 cm long) there are a few dozen ribbed leaves, of which the outermost ones are larger, of a more or less intense green color sometimes tending towards grey, pruinose, while the internal ones are yellowish in colour. or light green and often completely cover the edible part. \u003cbr\u003eThe edible part, the corymb, an inflorescence derived from a hypertrophied apical bud, is the result of the repeated branching of the terminal portion of the main axis of the plant.

Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) differs little from cauliflower: it belongs to the Cruciferae family – Brassicaceae, tribe: Brassiceae –. Species: Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis L.. Commonly the head (the set of florets) is called the top, hence probably the name \"cymosa\".\u003cbr\u003e Broccoli, although it belongs to the cauliflower species, is distinguished by its shoots or secondary inflorescences. It was probably precisely this peculiarity that determined the name of broccoli (brocco is the disused name for sprout). It is one of the oldest horticultural vegetables. \u003cbr\u003eKnown since ancient times, it was considered sacred by the Greeks; the Romans used it to treat the most varied diseases and ate it raw, before banquets, to help the body absorb alcohol better. In Italy it first established itself in Tuscany and the south. The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower is a biennial herbaceous plant and has a not very deep taproot. On the erect stem (15 to 50 cm long) there are a few dozen ribbed leaves, of which the outermost ones are larger, of a more or less intense green color sometimes tending towards grey, pruinose, while the internal ones are yellowish in colour. or light green and often completely cover the edible part. \u003cbr\u003eThe edible part, the corymb, an inflorescence derived from a hypertrophied apical bud, is the result of the repeated branching of the terminal portion of the main axis of the plant. The corymb can take very different shapes. The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very high number of apical meristems.\u003cbr\u003e The actual inflorescence is raceme and comes from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb. As these peduncles lengthen, they branch several times. The flowers of the first branches abort and only those of the fourth-eighth order branching onwards are fertile. The flowers are yellow and typical of cruciferous plants. Heterogamous fertilization is the prevalent one. The fruits are silique, of different shape and length; they can contain up to over 25 seeds, round, with a diameter varying from 1 to 2.5 mm, reddish-brown or almost shiny bluish.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-535 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\" alt=\"Broccoli cabbage\" width=\"155\" height=\"163\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Needs\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt prefers areas with a cool and humid climate, but the numerous existing varieties allow its cultivation throughout Italy, with greater attention to the temperature in the north, which appears to be the most important climatic factor, both during the transition phase from vegetative to reproductive and before and after it. For early cultivars the optimal temperature for the formation of corymbs is around 17°C. With temperatures above 20°C the transition to the reproductive phase is delayed and the quality of the corymbs becomes poor. Even low temperatures can damage the plant during the various stages in which it is found. If the plant has formed 6-8 leaflets and is subjected to low temperatures, you can have \"blind\" plants, i.e. without inflorescence. Frost causes the lumps that form the edible part to boil.\u003cbr\u003e It requires medium-textured, deep, fresh soil, rich in organic substance and well drained. It fears acidic soils and boron deficiency. \u003cbr\u003eIt benefits from intercropping with many plants, such as lettuce and spinach, tomato, celery, aromatic and medicinal herbs in general.

Single succession must be strictly avoided, especially if vegetation residues are not eliminated, especially if affected by diseases. Even if direct sowing provides excellent results, today, particularly with the use of hybrids, seedlings grown in nurseries in honeycomb containers are used, subsequently transplanted from July to September. Excellent rotation with legumes. \u003cbr\u003eDepending on the size of the plants there are different planting densities. The late varieties are larger than the early ones, so the planting distances vary from 60 to 100 cm between the rows and 40-70 cm along the rows, with a density of seedlings varying from 15,000 to 30,000 per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e They require deep tillage of the soil to facilitate the development of the root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For the production of 10 tons of corymbs the plants remove approximately 130 kg of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -3688px; top: -3219px; position: absolute;\"\u003eHold life?

Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) differs little from cauliflower: it belongs to the Cruciferae family – Brassicaceae, tribe: Brassiceae –. Species: Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis L.. Commonly the head (the set of florets) is called the top, hence probably the name \"cymosa\". \u003cbr\u003eBroccoli, although it belongs to the cauliflower species, is distinguished by its shoots or secondary inflorescences. It was probably precisely this peculiarity that determined the name of broccoli (brocco is the disused name for sprout). It is one of the oldest horticultural vegetables.\u003cbr\u003e Known since ancient times, it was considered sacred by the Greeks; the Romans used it to treat the most varied diseases and ate it raw, before banquets, to help the body absorb alcohol better. In Italy it first established itself in Tuscany and the south. The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States. \u003cbr\u003eCauliflower is a biennial herbaceous plant and has a not very deep taproot. On the erect stem (15 to 50 cm long) there are a few dozen ribbed leaves, of which the outermost ones are larger, of a more or less intense green color sometimes tending towards grey, pruinose, while the internal ones are yellowish in colour. or light green and often completely cover the edible part.\u003cbr\u003e The edible part, the corymb, an inflorescence derived from a hypertrophied apical bud, is the result of the repeated branching of the terminal portion of the main axis of the plant. The corymb can take very different shapes. The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very high number of apical meristems. \u003cbr\u003eThe actual inflorescence is raceme and comes from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb. As these peduncles lengthen, they branch several times. The flowers of the first branches abort and only those of the fourth-eighth order branching onwards are fertile. The flowers are yellow and typical of cruciferous plants. Heterogamous fertilization is the prevalent one. The fruits are silique, of different shape and length; they can contain up to over 25 seeds, round, with a diameter varying from 1 to 2.5 mm, reddish-brown or almost shiny bluish.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-535 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\" alt=\"Broccoli cabbage\" width=\"155\" height=\"163\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Needs\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt prefers areas with a cool and humid climate, but the numerous existing varieties allow its cultivation throughout Italy, with greater attention to the temperature in the north, which appears to be the most important climatic factor, both during the transition phase from vegetative to reproductive and before and after it. For early cultivars the optimal temperature for the formation of corymbs is around 17°C. With temperatures above 20°C the transition to the reproductive phase is delayed and the quality of the corymbs becomes poor. Even low temperatures can damage the plant during the various stages in which it is found. If the plant has formed 6-8 leaflets and is subjected to low temperatures, you can have \"blind\" plants, i.e. without inflorescence. Frost causes the lumps that form the edible part to boil.\u003cbr\u003e It requires medium-textured, deep, fresh soil, rich in organic substance and well drained. It fears acidic soils and boron deficiency. \u003cbr\u003eIt benefits from intercropping with many plants, such as lettuce and spinach, tomato, celery, aromatic and medicinal herbs in general. Avoid combining with garlic and onion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing and transplanting times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cultivation takes place at different times of the year, depending on the location and the cultivars used. Single succession must be strictly avoided, especially if vegetation residues are not eliminated, especially if affected by diseases. Even if direct sowing provides excellent results, today, particularly with the use of hybrids, seedlings grown in nurseries in honeycomb containers are used, subsequently transplanted from July to September. Excellent rotation with legumes. \u003cbr\u003eDepending on the size of the plants there are different planting densities. The late varieties are larger than the early ones, so the planting distances vary from 60 to 100 cm between the rows and 40-70 cm along the rows, with a density of seedlings varying from 15,000 to 30,000 per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e They require deep tillage of the soil to facilitate the development of the root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For the production of 10 tons of corymbs the plants remove approximately 130 kg of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"left: -3688px; top: -3219px; position: absolute;\"\u003eHold life?

In Italy it first established itself in Tuscany and the south. The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower is a biennial herbaceous plant and has a not very deep tap root. On the erect stem (15 to 50 cm long) there are a few dozen ribbed leaves, of which the outermost ones are larger, of a more or less intense green color sometimes tending towards grey, pruinose, while the internal ones are yellowish in colour. or light green and often completely cover the edible part. \u003cbr\u003eThe edible part, the corymb, an inflorescence derived from a hypertrophied apical bud, is the result of the repeated branching of the terminal portion of the main axis of the plant. The corymb can take very different shapes. The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very high number of apical meristems.\u003cbr\u003e The actual inflorescence is raceme and comes from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb. As these peduncles lengthen, they branch several times. The flowers of the first branches abort and only those of the fourth-eighth order branching onwards are fertile. The flowers are yellow and typical of cruciferous plants. Heterogamous fertilization is the prevalent one.

Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) differs little from cauliflower: it belongs to the Cruciferae family – Brassicaceae, tribe: Brassiceae –. Species: Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis L.. Commonly the head (the set of florets) is called the top, hence probably the name \"cymosa\".\u003cbr\u003e Broccoli, although it belongs to the cauliflower species, is distinguished by its shoots or secondary inflorescences. It was probably precisely this peculiarity that determined the name of broccoli (brocco is the disused name for sprout). It is one of the oldest horticultural vegetables. \u003cbr\u003eKnown since ancient times, it was considered sacred by the Greeks; the Romans used it to treat the most varied diseases and ate it raw, before banquets, to help the body absorb alcohol better. In Italy it first established itself in Tuscany and the south. The countries in which its cultivation is most widespread are India, China, France, Italy and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Cauliflower is a biennial herbaceous plant and has a not very deep tap root. On the erect stem (15 to 50 cm long) there are a few dozen ribbed leaves, of which the outermost ones are larger, of a more or less intense green color sometimes tending towards grey, pruinose, while the internal ones are yellowish in colour. or light green and often completely cover the edible part. \u003cbr\u003eThe edible part, the corymb, an inflorescence derived from a hypertrophied apical bud, is the result of the repeated branching of the terminal portion of the main axis of the plant. The corymb can take very different shapes. The convex upper surface of the corymb is formed by a very high number of apical meristems.\u003cbr\u003e The actual inflorescence is raceme and comes from the elongation of the fleshy peduncles of the corymb. As these peduncles lengthen, they branch several times. The flowers of the first branches abort and only those of the fourth-eighth order branching onwards are fertile. The flowers are yellow and typical of cruciferous plants. Heterogamous fertilization is the prevalent one. The fruits are silique, of different shape and length; they can contain up to over 25 seeds, round, with a diameter varying from 1 to 2.5 mm, reddish-brown or almost shiny bluish.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-535 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cavolo-broccolo.jpg\" alt=\"Broccoli cabbage\" width=\"155\" height=\"163\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Needs\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt prefers areas with a cool and humid climate, but the numerous existing varieties allow its cultivation throughout Italy, with greater attention to the temperature in the north, which appears to be the most important climatic factor, both during the transition phase from vegetative to reproductive and before and after it. For early cultivars the optimal temperature for the formation of corymbs is around 17°C. With temperatures above 20°C the transition to the reproductive phase is delayed and the quality of the corymbs becomes poor. Even low temperatures can damage the plant during the various stages in which it is found. If the plant has formed 6-8 leaflets and is subjected to low temperatures, you can have \"blind\" plants, i.e. without inflorescence. Frost causes the lumps that form the edible part to boil.\u003cbr\u003e It requires medium-textured, deep, fresh soil, rich in organic substance and well drained. It fears acidic soils and boron deficiency. \u003cbr\u003eIt benefits from intercropping with many plants, such as lettuce and spinach, tomato, celery, aromatic and medicinal herbs in general.

Excellent rotation with legumes. \u003cbr\u003eDepending on the size of the plants there are different planting densities.

The ball, green or red-purple, is not very compact. The ribs are numerous and thin; the central one is very pronounced and white in colour.\u003cbr\u003e If left to develop, the plant grows up to 1.5 meters in height, forming abundant ramifications with flowering twigs.

Its cultivation is very ancient and dates back to the Egyptians, today it is cultivated all over the world. In Italy the regions most interested in this crop are Emilia-Romagna, Campania, Sicily and Puglia; however it is grown practically everywhere, at least at the family garden level. World production is around 40 million tonnes, half of which is produced in China; in second place, far behind in the producer ranking, is India, with around 5.5 million tonnes. In Europe, Spain is the leading producer with 1.2 million tonnes, tenth in the world ranking, while Italy follows far behind with just 300,000 tonnes per year. \u003cbr\u003eThe onion is a biennial herbaceous plant, equipped with a root system made up of numerous fasciculated roots which are distributed in the first 25 cm of soil and are white, without root hairs but fleshy. When it germinates, it emits a small, fleshy ring-shaped leaf, which as it grows becomes straight as an arrow and points upwards. The other leaves emerge subsequently and are thick and swollen in the lower part, almost cylindrical in shape, while in the upper part they become thinner and tapered. The plant has many varieties and many different habits and sizes, up to a meter and a half in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cipolla.jpg\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-334 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/66.71.130.74\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cipolla.jpg\" alt=\"Onion\" width=\"239\" height=\"211\"\u003e The thickening of the basal part of the leaves, which become fleshy, colored purple or red, leads to the formation of the bulb, which is the edible part of the plant. On the outside the bulb is covered by a very thin membrane and on the inside it is rich in reserve substances. In the second year of life, the hollow floral scape emerges from the bulb, with the characteristic umbrella shape made up of 3-4 main parts and many flowers. The flowers are protandrous, that is, the male part, the anthers, matures first, then the ovules; fertilization is allogamous, favored by pollinating insects. From the fertilization of each flower a capsule is formed which contains 1-2 seeds, dark and very light: the weight of 1000 seeds is 3-5 grams.\u003cbr\u003e Variety \u003cbr\u003eThe selection made by farmers over time, before industrial genetic improvement, has made it possible to have a certain number of different varieties and types of onion by area of ​​origin and production, colour, bulb morphology, type of reproduction, light requirements, lengths of the biological cycle and harvest period, final use. Depending on the color of the external tunics (peel) they can be white, red, yellow, purple, brown; if we consider the morphology and reproduction, for example, the winter onion (Allium fistulosum), as well as a different reproduction methodology compared to the traditional onion, and does not present swelling of the stem. \u003cbr\u003eThe onion varieties also differ in their final use, also linked to the time of harvest: fresh consumption (generally the early ones), storage (harvested at the end of summer-early autumn and preserved until the following spring), industrial production for pickles and pickles (with white bulbs such as \"Bianca di Baretta\" or \"Borettana\"), and varieties to be dehydrated for pre-cooked foods, in canteens and restaurants.\u003cbr\u003e Depending on the harvest time, there are spring-summer and autumn-winter varieties of onions.\u003cbr\u003e Spring-summer onions are generally white and should be eaten fresh (after harvesting). They are sown in summer, transplanted in autumn and harvested the following spring. \u003cbr\u003eAutumn-winter onions should be sown between February and the end of March (with tunnel sowing it can be brought forward by a couple of months). In the latter case the transplant will take place at the beginning of spring and the harvest in the summer months. However, if sowing occurs later, the harvest will continue throughout the autumn period.\u003cbr\u003e As for the industrial varieties (pickles), generally white and smaller in size, they will be sown in spring and harvested in summer.\u003cbr\u003e There are onion bulbs on the market that avoid the need for sowing and are immediately ready for transplanting.\u003cbr\u003e Some of the most common varieties of onion are:\u003cbr\u003e Rossa di Tropea: flask-shaped bulb, wine-red outer skins, very sweet, early pinkish-white pulp, very suitable for fresh consumption.\u003cbr\u003e Dorata di Parma: large, spinning top-shaped bulb, golden yellow, ivory-white pulp.

These local varieties in turn differ not only in origin, but also in shape, color and final use.\u003cbr\u003e Agronomic needs\u003cbr\u003e The onion is resistant to low temperatures, germinates in optimal conditions around 20-25°C, but germination can already begin at values ​​of 0-1°C. As we said, it is a biennial plant, so it is exposure to low temperatures (vernalization) that allows it to flower. It also has different needs regarding light, the formation of the bulb depends on the photoperiod (day-night alternation):\u003cbr\u003e short-day: require a period of 10-12 hours of light per day (early varieties); \u003cbr\u003eneutrodiurne: require a period of 12-14 hours of light per day (medium-early varieties)\u003cbr\u003e long-diurnal: require a period of 14-16 hours of light per day (late or very late varieties).\u003cbr\u003e It prefers medium-textured, loose soils, to ensure that the bulb develops homogeneously and without finding resistance from the soil itself in the growth phase, but it also adapts to clayey ones as long as they are fresh, deep, rich in organic substance, with values with a pH between 6 and 7 and with good water availability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil preparation and fertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The preparation of the soil is a very important operation for the onion, to avoid water stagnation with consequent development of rotting of the bulbs, particularly in clayey soils in which poor water drainage favors attacks by Fusarium spp. \u003cbr\u003eIn open fields, plowing at a depth of 30 cm is advisable, perhaps combined with subsoiling, with burial of crop residues which will improve the characteristics of the soil and increase the organic substance content of which the onion is quite demanding.\u003cbr\u003e If you proceed with sowing, it will be important to roll and level the soil, refine it, while if you proceed with planting bulbs or transplanting seedlings, there may also be a certain clodiness.\u003cbr\u003e In small vegetable gardens and for domestic crops, to prepare the soil well, deep digging must be carried out and a well-levelled seedbed must be prepared with the help of a rake. It can be broadcast sown, leaving the seed quite sparse and watered abundantly after sowing. When the plants have reached 10-12 cm proceed with thinning (the optimal distance is 14 -16 cm on the row and 25-35 cm between the rows. \u003cbr\u003eAs regards fertilization, it is better not to exceed the supply of organic substance so as not to encourage pathogenic fungi and nematodes in the soil, remembering that the onion benefits from the organic contributions of the previous crop (it is a renewal crop). When preparing the soil, with ploughing, but also in small vegetable gardens where work is done with a spade, mature manure can be added, approximately 200 q per hectare (20 kg every 10 square metres), always in pre-sowing. In organic cultivation the soil must be equipped with a sufficient quantity of organic substance, so there is no need to add nitrogen, also to avoid compromising the quality and shelf life of the product.\u003cbr\u003e The onion is quite demanding in terms of phosphorus and potassium, especially in the 20 days before harvesting, so it may be useful to add wood ash or rock dust to the pile.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurnover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe onion suffers greatly from soil fatigue, so it is considered a renewal crop that opens up the rotation. A rotation at least every three years is advisable, but a long rotation is better (every 4-5 years), following it with cereals, grassland crops, carrot, radicchio or salad and avoiding following it with cabbage, potato or sugar beet as characterized by phytosanitary problems similar to those of the onion. If problems with fungal diseases or nematodes have occurred, it is better to rotate for 7-8 years before growing the onion on the same soil again.\u003cbr\u003e Cultivation techniques: Sowing, transplanting and bulbs, Irrigation \u003cbr\u003eThe onion planting methods can be: direct sowing, transplanting seedlings, planting bulbs. On large surfaces, and for industrial onions (given the high planting density), direct sowing is preferred, while for small areas and family gardens, transplanting or planting bulbs is preferred.\u003cbr\u003e The planting time depends on the intended use of the product:\u003cbr\u003e onions for fresh consumption: sowing takes place from mid-August to mid-September or in February; the transplant is instead carried out from September to December.\u003cbr\u003e Serbian onions: sown from January to April with summer-autumn harvest,\u003cbr\u003e spring onions: sown directly in the field from February to April.\u003cbr\u003e family vegetable gardens: the most frequent production is bulbs to be swollen, so planting takes place from late winter to early spring. \u003cbr\u003eSowing can be done with seed drills or by hand (for small areas), or on pre-seeded biodegradable sheets in contact with the ground. This system allows for seed savings and a reduction in subsequent thinning operations.\u003cbr\u003e The final destination of the product must be considered, so for large bulb onions the rows must be about 20 cm apart, while for small bulb onions 10 cm is sufficient; 5 – 10 cm is enough for pickled onions (even broadcast). The distance on the row goes from 2–3 cm for spring onions to 15 cm for onions with larger bulbs. The seed should be placed at a depth of 2-3 cm, better by rolling the soil so that it adheres well to the seed. The quantity of seed used is 2-4 g square metre.\u003cbr\u003e After 40 – 80 days from sowing in the seedbed, seedlings of 3-5 leaves are obtained ready to be transplanted (by hand for small surfaces or by machine) and buried at 4-5 cm. \u003cbr\u003eIf you choose to plant the bulbs, used for planting onions to be consumed fresh, the cultivation cycle is shortened by approximately 20 days. They are buried at the beginning of autumn in rows 35 –40 cm apart and about 15 cm apart on the rows.\u003cbr\u003e The onion is very sensitive to water stagnation, but equally sensitive to water stress due to the small root system, so it would be advisable to do micro-irrigation to save water or in any case frequent but limited irrigation to maintain an adequate level of humidity in the soil. without causing root rot. Generally, water supplies are suspended 25 – 30 days before harvesting or when 20 – 25% of the foliage has settled spontaneously on the ground. In fact, further contributions could damage the shelf life of the bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWeeds, diseases and adversities\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe onion is sensitive to climatic trends and the agronomic techniques to which it is subjected. When a normal climate trend is followed by temperature drops to 10-12°C and a subsequent sudden rise in temperature, pre-flowering can occur, whereby the plant goes to flower without forming the bulb.\u003cbr\u003e Suffering a lot from water stagnation, various types of rot and mycosis can be frequent on both the aerial and underground parts. As regards fungal diseases, downy mildew and onion mold are the most frequent, the former causes whitish or greenish spots on the leaves, the latter causes yellowing of the leaf tip and white mold on the bulb. Careful and precise distributions of sulfur and copper will solve the problem, but you can also resort to distributing lithotamnium powder on the seedlings. \u003cbr\u003eThe parasites that most frequently affect onions are the onion moth and the onion fly, whose larvae dig tunnels inside the bulb, also causing the onset of rot; in these cases it will be useful to treat with potassium salts of fatty acids (even Marseille soap diluted 20g\/litre is fine), with pyrethrum or organic products based on azadirachtin.\u003cbr\u003e However, the correct management of water and soil will allow us to prevent the conditions in which the pathogen manages to undermine the natural defenses of the plant and to make the environment as healthy as possible for our onions, and therefore to limit interventions of defense. A healthy and lively soil will make the plant healthy and therefore able to defend itself from the attack of pathogens or parasites or in any case able to limit the damage. \u003cbr\u003eIrrigation management is fundamental: the best time for watering is in the early hours of the morning, when the temperature is low and the soil has the opportunity to dry before the night arrives without causing stagnation and consequent excess humidity, both for hypogeal and epigeal part of the onion.\u003cbr\u003e Equal attention must be paid to creating a certain balance in our garden, so that the natural antagonists of parasites can grow. For nematodes and related physiopathologies, it will be essential to respect the rotation times to avoid becoming tired of the soil.\u003cbr\u003e A separate chapter is that of weeds. The fight will obviously be based on mechanical means, such as weeding, false sowing before planting and precision pyro-weeding.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollection and conservation\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe onion is harvested from March-April, in the case of the earliest varieties, to June-July for all the later fresh varieties; the harvest of winter varieties, however, takes place from August to September. It depends on the variety and the climate, but in general the onion is ready to be harvested around 90-120 days after sowing, when the leaves appear wilted, yellowed and curved towards the ground due to the loss of turgidity. In large areas it is usually carried out with excavator-aligning machines which dislodge the bulbs from the windrows, leaving them in the field for a week to complete the drying of the roots and the aerial part; subsequently, the harvest is carried out with the harvester. \u003cbr\u003eIn small or family-run gardens, it is important to dry the freshly harvested onions in a dark and well-ventilated place, thus avoiding the onset of diseases and rot. If you want to make braids, you will have to pick them when the leaves are not well dried and let them dry with the braid formed. For optimal conservation it would be best to store them at around 10°C, with a relative humidity of 50%.\u003cbr\u003e The harvested bulbs, depending on the variety, can be used immediately for fresh consumption and for the processing industry for the production of pickles, pickles or dehydrated slices or can be preserved (late ones are better).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUse, chemical and nutritional properties, curiosities\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOnion is one of the most used foods at all latitudes of the globe, both for preparing soups, meats, sauces, salads, etc. as an aroma, both as a side dish and as an aperitif. Its particular taste gives the preparations that flavor that enhances the other ingredients used in the various dishes of national and international cuisine. Gastronomy and variety have evolved together, one pushing the other to create countless types of onion, different in shape, size, taste and intensity of aroma, color of the skin and pulp, speed of cooking, shelf life , harvest time and intended use. You could say, “to each his own onion”!!! \u003cbr\u003eIts nutritional value is linked above all to the presence of mineral salts, vitamins, especially vitamin C, chromium and many sulfur oxides, which are the cause of tearing and the strong onion smell when we cut it. By cutting the onion, we break the cellular vacuoles and allow contact between the allinase enzyme (found in the vacuole) and cytoplasmic precursors called alkenyl cysteine ​​sulfoxides; this contact allows the chemical reaction that leads to the release of ammonia, sulfenic acids and pyruvate. Sulfenic acid, attacked by another lacrimal factor enzyme (correct name Lacrimathory Factor Shyntase), forms a volatile molecule which, in contact with the liquid of the eyeball, transforms into sulfuric acid, generating the lachrymogenic effect. The tears combine with other volatile molecules, generating more sulfuric acid in a chain reaction!!!! Obviously the concentration of the acid is very low and the effect is absolutely not harmful! \u003cbr\u003eHistorically, the onion has always had an important place in the human diet and also in traditional medicine.\u003cbr\u003e In archaeological excavations, remains of onions have been found in Bronze Age settlements from around 7000 years ago, but it is probably only in the Egyptian civilization that the cultivation of onions began, along with garlic, leeks and radishes.\u003cbr\u003e For the Egyptians it was sacred because its shape and concentric rings are a reminder of eternal life, the cycle of life. It seems that the diet of the workers who built the pyramids included a considerable amount of garlic and onion and two onions were found in the eye sockets of the mummy of Ramesses II! It's curious to see how tastes change over time: for us the strong smell of onion can be heavy, annoying, but the Egyptians believed that the strong aroma of onion could bring life and breath back to the dead!!!! \u003cbr\u003eFollowing the path of the onion in history, in ancient Greece athletes ate large quantities of it because it was believed to promote circulation and have an anticoagulant effect; Roman gladiators smeared onion poultices on their muscles to firm them; in the Middle Ages onions were used to pay rent or as a prized gift because they were an important source of nutrition and as a cure for snake bites, hair loss and sterility.\u003cbr\u003e In 1493 Christopher Columbus brought onions to America for the first time and since then they have had an incredible spread on the continent, where today there is no fast food that does not include \"onion rings\" on the menu, fried in batter !! \u003cbr\u003eEven today, properties that can be defined as therapeutic are recognized: it has an antibacterial and anti-infective action, a diuretic, promoting the elimination of nitrogenous waste, against intestinal worms, it contains blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, preventing heart disease, it contains many flavonoids including quercitin which has an anti-carcinogenic effect.\u003cbr\u003e A very important action, which we can all experience, is the anti-inflammatory one, both general on the organism, but in particular for topical use: onion poultices, due to the sulfur and ammonia content, have an immediate anti-inflammatory effect on dog bites. hymenopteran insects and jellyfish. In the case of contact with a jellyfish, even just passing an onion cut in half over the wound provides immediate relief and, moreover, a scar will not form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOnion cultivation and biodynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe onion is a plant with two dynamic poles because it is both a bulb and a flower, depending on the cycle we make it go through, whether we want it to go to seed or whether we want to harvest the bulb.\u003cbr\u003e In the second case it will be treated as a land plant (from root), therefore it will be advisable to follow the biodynamic calendar and carry out the operations (sowing, harvesting, weeding, etc.) on earth days and descending moon days.\u003cbr\u003e Since care of the soil and good agronomic practices are essential to obtain a quality product and prevent pathologies, it will be advisable to treat the soil with the preparation 500 before the main processing and spray the 501 when the plant has produced at least 2 or 3 leaves, in the morning on sunny, clear days, and renew the treatment two more times on root days.
