Daucus carota — mrkva

Daucus carota je botanički naziv za mrkvu, dvogodišnju biljku iz porodice štitarki (Apiaceae) koja se gotovo uvijek uzgaja kao jednogodišnja radi slatkog, hrskavog korijena. To je vrsta iza koje stoji cijela naša ponuda mrkve unutar kolekcije korjenastog povrća.

Povijest & podrijetlo

Uzgojena mrkva vuče korijene iz Perzije i Srednje Azije — područja današnjeg Afganistana — gdje su prvi pripitomljeni korijeni, uzgajani prije više od tisuću godina, bili ljubičaste i žute boje, a ne narančaste. Odande su se mrkve proširile na zapad kroz arapski svijet i u Europu tijekom srednjeg vijeka, te na istok u Kinu i Japan.

Poznata tamnonarančasta mrkva relativno je noviji plod selekcije: niderlandski su je uzgajivači u 16. i 17. stoljeću odabrali i popularizirali, oplemenjujući žute sorte u slatki, vitaminski bogat korijen kakav poznajemo danas — što je dijelom razlog zašto mrkva ostaje tako usko povezana s Nizozemskom. Njezin divlji predak, poznat i kao Queen Anne's lace, i danas raste diljem Europe i Azije te pokazuje odakle potječe ono perasto lišće mrkve.

Botanička obilježja

Uzgajana radi nabubrelog vretenastog korijena, Daucus carota u prvoj godini tvori perastu rozetu listova, a ostavljena li se u tlu, u drugoj godini razvija čipkastu bijelu cvjetnu sjenu. Korijeni se uvelike razlikuju: brze okrugle i kratke sorte za plitka tla i posude, dugi maincrop tipovi za čuvanje te čitav spektar boja od narančaste do ljubičaste, žute, crvene i bijele. Slatkoću duguju šećerima koji se nakupljaju kako korijen sazrijeva, a okus često postaje intenzivniji nakon jesenskog hladnoće. Rane brzorastuće mrkve dio su naše ponude brzorastućeg povrća, a kratke sorte izvrsno uspijevaju u našem asortimanu za uzgoj u posudama.

Uzgoj biljke Daucus carota iz sjemena

Mrkva se uvijek sije izravno na trajno mjesto — ne podnosi presađivanje, koje uzrokuje račvaste i deformirane korijene. Sijte rijetko u rahlo, od kamenja i gnoja očišćeno tlo te ga održavajte ravnomjerno vlažnim za ujednačen rast. Pravi neprijatelj mrkve je muha mrkvarka, pa sijte štedljivo kako biste izbjegli prorjeđivanje, a uzgajajte pod finim mrežama ili uz luk kako biste zbunili štetnika. Naš vodič za pripremu tla objašnjava kako postići rahlu strukturu tla kakvu mrkva voli, dok kalendar sjetve povrća prikazuje terminska okna za sukcesivnu sjetvu od proljeća do kasnog ljeta.

Često postavljana pitanja

Što je Daucus carota?
To je botanički naziv za mrkvu, dvogodišnje korjenasto povrće iz porodice štitarki (Apiaceae).

Odakle potječe mrkva?
Iz Perzije i Srednje Azije — oko današnjeg Afganistana — gdje su najraniji uzgojeni korijeni bili ljubičasti i žuti.

Zašto je mrkva narančasta?
Slatku narančastu mrkvu selektirali su i popularizirali nizozemski uzgajivači u 16. i 17. stoljeću.

Je li mrkva jednogodišnja ili dvogodišnja?
Dvogodišnja je, ali uzgaja se kao jednogodišnja i bere radi korijena prve godine.

Kako uzgajati mrkvu iz sjemena?
Sijte izravno u lagano, bez kamenja tlo i nikada je nemojte presađivati; održavajte ravnomjernu vlažnost.
