How to Grow Carrots in a Simplest Way?


Carrots are a popular root vegetable that are easy to grow in sandy soil. They are resistant to 
most pests and diseases, and are a good late season crop that can tolerate frost.

Usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow varieties exist.

It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is ataproot, although the 
greens are sometimes eaten as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native 
to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly 
enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot. The Food and Agriculture 
Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that world production of carrots and turnips (these 
plants are combined by the FAO for reporting purposes) for calendar year 2011 was almost 35.658 
million tonnes. Almost half were grown in China. Carrots are widely used in many cuisines, especially in the preparation of salads, and carrot salads are a tradition in many regional cuisines.

STEPS
  • Remove the Stones from the soil 
  • It need deeply tilled soil because the carrot goes down to grow in the ground 
  • It grows in all soils
  • Sow the seeds directly into the soil deeply but not too much 


  • Water it and then keep watering regularly 
  • Try not to use the fertilizers
  • Use Palekar Asthra's or neem oil if any disease occur 
  • Carrots grow well in the full sunlight and partially shade also
  • It will be ready for harvest in just  30 days from planting and matured carrots  harvested in 65 days.
  • Mainly it needs water and full sunlight with good fertile soil.
  • The distance between two Carrots is 3 inches , by planting the carrots like this 
You can get More Yield for Surely!







After Germination & Caring Tips

Soon after germination, carrot seedlings show a distinct demarcation between the taproot and the 
stem. The latter is thicker and lacks lateral roots. At the upper end of the stem is the seed leaf. 
The first true leaf appears about 10–15 days after germination. 


Subsequent leaves, produced from the stem nodes, are alternating(with a single leaf attached to a 
node, and the leaves growing in alternate directions) and compound, and arranged in a spiral. 
The leaf blades are pinnate. As the plant grows, the bases of the seed leaves are pushed apart. 
The stem, located just above the ground, is compressed and the internodes are not distinct. 
When the seed stalk elongates, the tip of the stem narrows and becomes pointed, extends upward, and becomes a highly branched inflorescence.
 The stems grow to 60–200 cm (20–80 in) tall.

Something About Carrot that you Don't Know

Most of the taproot consists of a pulpy outer cortex (phloem) and an inner core (xylem). High-quality carrots have a large proportion of cortex compared to core. Although a completely xylem-free carrot is not possible, some cultivars have small and deeply pigmented cores; the taproot can appear to lack a core when the colour of the cortex and core are similar in intensity. Taproots typically have a long conical shape, although cylindrical and round cultivars are available. The root diameter can range from 1 cm (0.4 in) to as much as 10 cm (4 in) at the widest part. The root length ranges from 5 to 50 cm (2.0 to 19.7 in), although most are between 10 and 25 cm (4 and 10 in).



Flower development begins when the flat meristem changes from producing leaves to an uplifted, 
conical meristem capable of producing stem elongation and an cluster of flowers. The cluster is a 
compound umbel, and each umbel contains several smaller umbels (umbellets). The first (primary) 
umbel occurs at the end of the main floral stem; smaller secondary umbels grow from the main branch,
 and these further branch into third, fourth, and even later-flowering umbels. A large, primary umbel 
can contain up to 50 umbellets, each of which may have as many as 50 flowers; subsequent umbels 
have fewer flowers. Flowers are small and white, sometimes with a light green or yellow tint. They 
consist of five petals, five stamens, and an entire calyx. The stamensusually split and the stamens fall 
off before the stigma becomes receptive to receive pollen. The stamens of the brown, male, sterile 
flowers degenerate and shrivel before the flower fully opens. In the other type of male sterile flower, 
the stamens are replaced by petals, and these petals do not fall off. A nectar-containing disc is present 
on the upper surface of the carpels.
