What are the new techniques for carrot cultivation? Explained clearly in one article

Thinning: Carrots love light, so once the seedlings have all emerged, they must be thinned in time. The first thinning is done when there are 1 to 2 true leaves and the seedlings are 3 cm tall, with a suitable spacing of 3 to 5 sq cm between retained seedlings; the second thinning is done when the seedlings are 7 to 10 cm tall, with a suitable spacing of 6 to 7 sq cm between retained seedlings; the third, namely final thinning, is done when the plants are 15 to 20 cm tall, with a suitable spacing of 10 sq cm.

Topdressing: Carrots have a long growing period, so in addition to base fertilizer, they also need 2 to 3 topdressings. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied must be controlled, otherwise it easily causes excessive leaf growth and affects the swelling of the storage root; topdressing should be dilute, otherwise it easily causes forked roots. The first topdressing is done 20 to 25 days after emergence, when the seedlings have 3 to 4 true leaves, applying urea, superphosphate and potassium chloride with a small amount of decomposed human feces and urine; the second topdressing is done 40 to 50 days after emergence (after final thinning), applying urea, superphosphate and potassium chloride with a small amount of decomposed human feces and urine.

Irrigation: Carrots have a small leaf area, low evaporation, a well-developed root system and strong absorptive capacity, and are relatively drought-tolerant. Generally, soil moisture should be kept at 60% to 80%. After carrots have grown storage roots, spray Diguo Zhuangtiling to improve the quality of the storage roots. Watering should be stopped after the storage roots have fully swollen.
