Resistance lies in them having low levels of chlorogenic acid, a chemical which the larvae of the carrot fly needs for survival. This means that they appear to be unattractive to the fly and even if your crop is attacked to some degree the larvae will soon die after doing relatively little damage. Collection comprises one each of Resistafly, Flyaway and Early Nantes. Resistafly Successful British breeding in improved carrot fly resistance has resulted in Resistafly, an outstanding variety with early vigour, uniform appearance, rich core colour and smooth skin. A breakthrough introduction. Recommended for mid to late season use. Flyaway British bred with partial Carrot Fly resistance, due to lower levels of chlorogenic acid within the developing roots. Flyaway is naturally sweet, producing early blunt ended roots, with good skin and flesh colour. Early Nantes Fast maturing and uniform, with a deep fresh colour and first class flavour. Suitable for early sowing in frames.
