🥕PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF CARROT 🥕

Production technology of carrot 🥕



  1. PREPARATION OF LAND

  • Select the suitable soil (light and well drained loamy soils).

  • The Ph range of soil should be between 6.6-7.1.

  • Deep loam and loamy soils are preferred for good crop production.

  •     For early crop, a sandy loamy soils are preferred and for high yields, slit or slit loamy soils are preferred.

  • Make the rows as recommended distance of 30*10 cm

  • Plough the soil with addition of farm yard manure of 25-30 tons/hectare.


  1. NUTRIENT  MANAGEMENT 

  • Add farm yard manure of 25-30 tons to main field, at the time of field preparation.

  • Add 40-60 kg/ha Nitrogen, 40-50 kg/ha Posphorous, 80-100 kg/ha potash.

  • Application of N should be in split doses, first dose is at the time of field preparation and second dose is at 30-45 days after seed sowing.

  • Other are applied during field preparation time in a single dose.

  1. CLIMATIC REQUIREMENT

  • Carrot is basically adapted to grow in cold conditions.

  • A temperature range of 7.2to23.9*C for seed production .seed stock formation takes place when these plants are subjected to a temperature of 12.2 to21.2*C.

  • If the plant grows continuously at a temperate region range of 21.1-26.7*C fails to develop   floral primordial.


  1. SOWING OF SEEDS

  • Sowing time: August to November is the optimum time for sowing of Asiatic group while for European types it is October to November.


  • Seed rate: 5-6kg/ha.

  • Spacing: 30*10cm.

  • For better root formation sow the seeds on ridges than in flat land.

  • Seeds takes 8-10 days for germination.

  • After germination, when the plant attain height of 5-6 cm, thinning is to be done.

  1. IRRIGATION TO THE FIELD

  • Irrigate the field just after sowing of seeds.

  • The optimum level of moisture is required for good germination in the field.

  • The crop should be irrigated at an interval of 5-7 days gap, depending upon rain or weather conditions.

  1. WEEDING

  • Apply pendimethalin in field before seed sowing, for weed control.

  • Generally tow weedings are required, at 15-20 and 30-35 days after sowing.

  • Otherwise apply propazine@1.12kg/ha or monuron@1kg/ha. 

  1. HARVESTING

  • Generally the harvesting is done by using of hand picking only.

  • The crop is ready for harvest after 65-85 days of seed sowing.

  • Harvesting of roots depend upon  the varieties.


  1. CROP YIELD

  • The temperate types are poor yielder and produce about 100-150q/ha.

  • But tropical type yield is higher i.e. 250-300q/ha.
