FIELD: agriculture.
SUBSTANCE: invention concerns agriculture. Carrot precocity evaluation is realised by growing seeds at naturally short daylight (7-10 hours) in winter greenhouse (December-February). The time between sowing and beginning of stooling is registered. Forms with early stooling would be late-maturing in the long daylight field environment (15-17 hour daylight, May-August), while forms with late stooling would be early-maturing. This method provides faster evaluation of carrots precocity than other methods.
EFFECT: enables faster evaluation of carrot precocity.
