How and when to plant carrots ्रो Growing Carrot Planting Techniques # Agrowone® The temperature is very nutritious. At higher temperatures the growth of carrots is stunted, whereas at lower temperatures the length increases. The land selected for cultivation should be soft and humus rich. Land with good drainage should be selected. Ground level should be six to seven. High acidity degrades carrots in soils.

Planting
Carrot planting should be completed by the end of December. The land selected for cultivation should be deeply plowed vertically and horizontally. Before the last shift, 10 to 12 carts of manure per acre should be well mixed in the soil. The soil in the field should be leveled with a board.
One to one and half kg seed is sufficient for one acre area. If seeds are soaked in water for 24 hours before sowing, germination is better and shorter. Seed treatment with fungicide should be done before sowing. It does not cause taxa. 30 to 45 cm in two rows. Keep a distance. After thinning, 8 cm in two seedlings. Keep a distance. Seeds take 12 to 15 days to germinate.

Food management
Carrot crop should be given 32 kg N, 24 kg P and 24 kg K per acre. Apply half dose of nitrogen and full potash before sowing. The remaining half dose of N should be given 20 days after planting. Carrots also have lesions such as cracking of the roots and cavity spots. For this the crop should avoid excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers. Soil should be supplied to the soil as per soil test.

Irrigation management
To improve germination of seeds, the field should be moistened before sowing and then sown on steam, light watering should be given immediately. Water flow should be kept low till germination. Watering should be done at intervals of seven to eight days in winter depending on the season. Frequent watering increases the growth of leaves and carrots do not germinate well and the taste becomes watery. The growth of fibrous roots is high. Irrigation water should be given regularly and regularly.

Intercropping
Seedlings grow to three to four cm. Thinning should be done after height. Keep the field clean by weeding regularly. Spray 500 ppm Psychosyl Sanjivak 50 days after germination to strengthen the growth of roots by limiting the growth of seedlings. Watering should be stopped for 15-20 days before removing the carrots. This makes the carrots sweet.
