Kuroda is a carrot type selected by Sakata for better colour, taste and uniformity. It is suited to warm-season production, which makes it a good choice for Nigerian growers outside the cool highlands. Roots are uniform and smooth with good internal and external quality. Strong leaf attachment makes pulling roots easier at harvest. The 100 g pack suits market gardens and commercial carrot beds.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kuroda carrot good for hot areas?
Yes. Sakata selected this Kuroda for warm-season production, so it handles heat better than many European types.
How do I sow small carrot seeds evenly?
Mix seed with dry sand and sprinkle along shallow rows, then thin later.
Why does strong leaf attachment matter?
Tops do not break off when you pull, so harvest is faster with fewer roots left in the soil.
How much area does 100 g of carrot seed plant?
Carrot seed is very small (hundreds of seeds per gram), so 100 g covers a large area of beds.
