Carrots belong to the type of crops that are equally well applicable for the fresh market, and for storage, and for processing. Especially for storage, late varieties or hybrids of carrots are grown, which are subject to the following requirements: the correct shape of the root crop, high yield, good storage capacity. Due to the low level of keeping quality of table carrots, during long-term storage, part of the crop may be lost. But under certain conditions (temperature 0-1 ° C, humidity 95-100 %), the storage period of carrots can be from 4 to 8 months.
