Desi Carrot Harvest - Desi Carrot Seeds from Shashi N Gautam v1

How to Grow Desi Carrot from Seeds:

Sowing Season: Ideal for sowing from mid-September to October, when the weather starts to cool.
Soil Preparation: Carrots need loose, well-draining soil that’s rich in potassium and phosphorus but low in nitrogen. Prepare your soil by mixing 40% red soil, 40% vermicompost, and 20% coco peat. Add neem cake and seaweed extract fertilizer for an added boost.
Planting: Sow seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) with a spacing of 1-2 inches between seeds. Keep the soil moist to aid germination, which can take 7-21 days.
Temperature: Carrots prefer cooler temperatures, with optimal root formation occurring between 15°C and 18°C. Provide shade in warmer climates, especially in the afternoon.
Fertilization: After 45 days of sowing, apply a top dressing of potassium and phosphorus-rich fertilizers like seaweed extract to support healthy root development.
Harvesting: Carrots are typically ready for harvest after 90 days. Baby carrots can be harvested earlier (30-40 days) for a sweeter, more nutritious yield.
