How to grow carrots in autumn and winter

One: variety selection

When we choose carrot seeds, we must choose those that are a little resistant to disease, have a good yield, grow carrots that are delicious, big and good-looking, take a long time, and have extra-large leaves. There are several varieties of carrots that have grown well in recent years, such as the hundred-day red crown, which is more marketable.

Second: the skill of sowing seeds

1. Carrots are usually arranged and sown in July. Carrots need a lot of fat support. Fertilize every mu of land before planting, so that the basic fertilizer of the soil is sufficient. Only about 6,000 jin of mature and rotten farm manure will do. And when applying chemical fertilizer, it should be as uniform as possible. The chemical fertilizer applied is about 50 to 60 jin of compound fertilizer, and a mixture of 40 jin of urea and 60 to 100 jin of calcium superphosphate. After fertilization, cultivated land will be cultivated and then leveled out to form a border. If you make a flat bed in a sandy field, you will use a high bed where it often rains.

2. Sowing seeds is generally sown in strips. First, open a trench in the border according to the distance of 0.15mur.02 meters. The depth of each ditch should be about two centimeters. Sow seeds in the ditch and evenly. If it is scattered outside the ditch, you can gently sweep it into the ditch with a broom. Then rake it flat, step on it with your feet and sprinkle water. Sow about 250 to 300 grams per mu of land. If more funds are available, it can also be sown, and then the ditch sowing can be completed.

Third: water management

1. After planting the carrot, you should take good care of it. It needs to keep the soil hydrated at all times, so it should be watered three times a day. When it grows up a little, that is, when it grows one or two leaves, pick a sunny noon to help it grow seedlings, each three centimeters apart, and then use a hoe in the middle.

2. When carrots have four or five leaves, it is necessary to choose a sunny noon to set the seedlings. The seedlings are too dense, too fragile, and the seedlings of the sick carrots are pulled out, and then the seedlings are determined according to their respective characteristics. Each carrot is 10 to 12 centimeters apart, and 25000 to 30, 000 seedlings should be retained in one mu of land.

3. if you want to weed after you have done the previous work, you should weed shallowly to prevent accidental injury to the roots. When it grows, it should be watered according to the actual situation when there is a lot of hot and rainy weather. Whether it is raining or the classroom, we must help it loosen the soil.

Four: field management

1. When the seedling has seven or eight leaves, it is necessary to control watering and loosen the soil so that its roots can grow better and prevent carrots from growing only leaves. When its meat is as big as a finger, it is necessary to properly control the water to prevent it from becoming too dry, and too much water will rot easily. Dry and wet will make the carrots crack.

2. Autumn carrots take a long time to grow, and they still need to be well fertilized in the middle and later stages. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer when the carrots grow to a certain extent. At this time, we should apply quick-acting fertilizer. During the whole growing period, we should apply fertilizer three times, once every 15 days. The first time is in the broken belly period, after applying fertilizer to water, this is to prevent the carrots from rooting. The same is true for the next two times.

Growing carrots is actually very simple, as long as the selection of varieties and land is clearly understood in the early stage of planting, and it is reasonable and effective to manage it during planting, there is no problem for high yield of carrots.
