How to grow carrots, with planting methods

The time of planting carrots varies in different places, and the best time is from July 7 to August 23. Land selection and land preparation: choose loose, fertile and well-drained land, and sprinkle the land with appropriate amount of farm manure as base fertilizer after ploughing. Timely fertilization: sow seeds after or the day before the rain. Field management: fertilization is carried out when the seedlings grow to 4-5 centimeters. If the soil is relatively dry, it should be watered in time, and when there is more water in the field, it should be drained in time. Late harvest: harvest in batches according to size.

First, planting time

Carrots can be planted all the year round, but the better planting time is from July 7 to August 23 each year. Of course, the planting time varies from region to region. For example, the northeast region can be sown in June.

II. Land selection and preparation

1. When planting carrots, we should first choose the land suitable for its growth. Usually, the soil quality of the underground crops should be relatively loose, the soil should be more fertile, and the drainage and irrigation should be good, so it is the same with growing carrots.

2. When preparing the soil, try to remove the sundries and weeds in the field, then flatten and refine the land, sprinkle an appropriate amount of farm manure as the base fertilizer, and sow the seeds after a few days of sun exposure.

III. Timely fertilization

First of all, ridge the land, and then sow carrot seeds according to rows of ridges. Before sowing, you can cover the surface with a layer of rape stalks, or corn stalks. Sowing is suitable for the day after rain or the day before rain. This will help to improve the germination rate of seeds.

IV. Field management

1. Generally, the first fertilization is carried out when the carrot seedlings grow to 4-5cm, which is beneficial to promote the better growth of carrot seedlings. The second fertilization should wait until the carrots begin to grow up, and fertilization is very important at this time.

2. At the same time, it is necessary to control the moisture in the field. When the soil is relatively dry, watering should be carried out in time, and the stagnant water in the field should be discharged in time in Rain Water's season.

5. Late harvest

Carrots can be harvested in batches, and the larger ones can be harvested first according to the size of the carrots, and the small ones can continue to grow after the big ones are harvested. Although the carrots can be harvested in batches, the harvest time should not be too late. If it is too late, it will affect the quality of the carrots, and the taste is not so delicate.

VI. Nutritional value

1. Carotene is the main source of vitamin A, and vitamin A can promote growth, avoid bacterial infection, protect epidermis and protect the function and function of epithelial cells in digestive tract, respiratory tract and urinary system.

2. For the average adult, it is necessary to take 2200 international units of vitamin A per day in order to maintain normal life activities.
