The results of comprehensive assessment of the collection samples of carrot are presented. Such traits as a resistance to carrot psylla and carrot fly, high yield, earlyripeness, high content of carotene were evaluated. The carrot varieties total resistant to psylla were not found. The genotypes with combination of such traits as a mild tolerance to pests, stable productivity and fruits quality are recommended as the initial breeding material for development of new varieties and hybrids of carrot.
