Carrots can be grown to improve quality like this:
First, do a good job of thinning and hilling after sowing. About ten days after sowing is the best time for thinning; when thinning, be careful to pull out weak seedlings and diseased seedlings and keep strong seedlings, ensuring row spacing and plant spacing of 20 cm, and do not leave seedlings too dense, otherwise the carrots will not grow large. In addition, about 20 days after planting the carrots, in order to ensure the carrots grow straight, hilling is generally carried out, and a hilling height of 2-3 cm is enough. If the hilling is too low, it loses the meaning of hilling; on the contrary, if it is too high, there will be more white areas on the lower part of the carrot, and buyers are unwilling to purchase them.
Second, do a good job of controlling the number of waterings. Yang Chunguo introduced that throughout the whole growth period, watering the carrots 3-4 times is enough. Generally speaking, water once after sowing the carrots, and water a second time when the carrots have grown to about 2 cm in diameter. After that, if the carrots are not very dry, it is best not to water, to prevent excessive vegetative growth in the carrots, and then water once more before the carrots are marketed.
Third, prevent the ground temperature from being too low and set up a second film in time for insulation. When the green radish has grown to full size, do not rush to harvest it; instead, let it remain in the arched shed to keep it fresh. In order to prevent the temperature inside the shed from being too low, a second film is set up in early November. As the temperature drops, Yang Chunguo introduced that a layer of film will be covered over the entire shed of radishes, thereby achieving the effect of insulation and freshness preservation.
In addition, to prevent the flesh from turning white, strengthen ventilation. As long as the radishes in the shed are not damaged by freezing, ventilate in time, generally three times a day, otherwise the flesh inside the radish skin will turn white and will not taste crisp.
