Carrot transplanting precautions and key points of carrot cultivation methods and techniques

The carrot seedling period is relatively long, generally 20-25 days. When there is a shortage of seedlings or very few seeds, the method of seedling transplanting or seedling separation transplanting will be chosen to expand the nutritional area and avoid overcrowding, thereby improving the quality and yield of carrots.

The time period for transplanting carrot seedlings is before the seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves. The smaller the seedlings, the less likely they are to be damaged by the roots. The higher the survival rate after transplanting, and the lower the rate of fleshy root deformity.

Key points for transplanting carrots

1. Be careful when transplanting carrots, because their seedlings are relatively fragile. If you pull them out directly with your hands, the seedlings will easily be torn off. Therefore, you need to moisten the soil before transplanting, then use a small shovel to loosen the soil, and then slowly pull out the seedlings.

2. Take out as much soil as possible with the seedlings so that they can adapt to the new environment faster. If multiple seedlings are gathered together, separate them gently to prevent them from gathering together and affecting the expansion of the fleshy roots and increasing their density.

3. When transplanting carrots, you need to choose soil with high organic content and good drainage. You need to turn the soil over when transplanting to increase the looseness and air permeability of the soil, and then gently transplant the seedlings into the soil.

Carrot transplanting management

1. Provide moisture

After transplanting, the carrots need to be watered, but watering needs to be done when the soil is dry. Just keep the soil moist. Too much watering will affect the growth of carrots and cause water accumulation in the plants.

2. Provide nutrients

After the carrots are successfully transplanted, they need a lot of nutrients, so they need to be fertilized at this time. It is best to use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer so that the carrots can absorb sufficient nutrients and increase their growth rate.
