Frequently asked questions(5)
Sow from April to June directly into open ground. For summer harvest — May–June, for autumn–winter storage — April–May. Seeds germinate at 5–10°C; optimal temperature is 15–20°C.
During the growing season, water 2–3 times per week, maintaining soil moisture at 3–5 cm depth. Reduce watering 2–3 weeks before harvest. Overwatering causes cracking and disease.
Causes: compacted or clay soil, fresh manure, excess nitrogen, insufficient thinning. Solution: loosen soil, thin on time, use mineral fertilizers instead of organic matter.
Cut off tops, dry in shade for 1–2 days. Store in a basement, refrigerator, or cool cellar at 0–3°C and 90–95% humidity. Place in boxes, layering with sand or sawdust. Properly stored carrots last 6–8 months.
Carrots prefer mineral fertilizers. Apply compound fertilizer (NPK 10-10-10) once every 3–4 weeks. Potassium fertilizers at the end of the season increase sweetness. Avoid fresh manure!
