WARF TECHNOLOGIES

According to the USDA, Wisconsin farmers produced 73,610 tons of carrots in 2010.

UW-Madison researchers have developed a new line of carrots. Inbred carrot line W280 is a long Danvers type with a tapered root and light green foliage. W280 was derived from a cross between the unreleased inbred lines, W261 and W262. W280A is a green petaloid sterile and W280B is the maintainer genotype.

• Suitable for use in both fresh market and processing carrot hybrid cultivars

• Long Danvers type with a tapered root and light green foliage
