Main points of carrot sowing

The emergence rate of carrots after sowing is not high because the sowing work has not been done well. Some preparatory work should be done before sowing, and appropriate adjustments should be made after sowing, so that the emergence rate is high. Let's take a look at some of the more important places when planting carrots.

1. Choose the right time

Time is very important, when the time is right, the seed can survive at the right temperature. The growing period of carrots is about two months, during which the temperature is relatively high, so it is generally more suitable in summer. The most suitable time is from May to September, during which you can choose to plant at any time, but it is best to stay in shady weather continuously after planting. If the light is strong, the seedlings can not bear it.

2. The duration of awakening

The time for carrots to wake up is relatively long, and many people wake up for just a few hours, which leads to many seeds that have not yet been fully awakened, so that they naturally emerge slowly or even do not emerge after planting. Soak the seeds about a day before sowing, soak in warm water for about 15 hours, then fish out and dry for about 30-60 minutes. As the carrot seeds are small, be careful not to crush them when you wake up.

3. Weeding

Where carrots are sown, there are usually a lot of weeds that are difficult to clean up, especially in the days from sowing to emergence, these grasses will start to grow crazily because there is plenty of fertilizer. In order not to affect the appearance of carrot seedlings, some herbicides can be used properly before emergence, so that carrot seeds will not be harmed and these weeds can be eliminated. However, when using the drug, it is necessary to control the concentration and dosage so as to prevent the drug from seeping and accidentally injuring the seed.

4. Replenish water

After the sowing is completed, the whole sowing is not complete, and the water replenishment work needs to be completed afterwards. Carrot seed shell breaking needs more water, especially at this stage from shell breaking to seedling emergence, so it is necessary to replenish water in time after sowing. Replenish water not directly on the sowing channel, but on the edge of the plate, let the water slowly seep into the seed, so that it is not easy to cause soil consolidation and affect the probability of seedling emergence.

These are some of the key points of carrot sowing, which will greatly improve the chances of carrot seed emergence. However, we should make appropriate adjustments in accordance with the actual situation to avoid mistakes.
