6. INTRODUCTION
C= CAROTENE rich.
A = precursor of Vit-A.
R= RIBOFLAVIN rich.
R= ROOT Crop.
O= anti-OXIDANT
T = TASTE of salad.
It has medicinal use also & diuretic, reminineralizing, antidiarrheal, overall
tonic and antianemic.
It is an annual or biennial herb with an erect and much branched stem,
30 to 120 cm tall arising from a thick fleshy taproot, 5-30 cm long bearing
flowers borne in umbels.
The main carrot growing states are Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Haryana is leading producer of carrot in India followed by Andhra Pradesh

8. CLIMATE
Carrot is a cool season.
European or Temperate type carrot requires cooler climate than
Tropical or Asiatic types.
A temperature range of 7- 23ºC is considered optimum for seed germination
while for better root growth 10-15ºC is ideal & 15.6º- 21.1ºC develops best
orange colour of roots.
Very high or low temperature is not conducive for proper development
of roots.
At higher temperatures, the roots become shorter, thicker and non- juicy while at
lower temperatures (10 to 15º C)they become longer.
At 10-15ºC=develop poor color.
15-20ºC=develop good color.
20-25ºC=develop less bright color.

9. SOIL
Carrots grows well-drained, deep, loose, sandy loam
soils rich in humus and having a pH 6-7.
Sandy soils, sandy loam and silted loam are the best .
Soils free of clods are preferred for smooth straight
roots.
Heavy, clay soils or compacted soils may produce
abnormal develoment of roots and roots become or
branched.

11. SEEDSANDSOWING
Directly sown in well-prepared fields or beds having
sufficient moisture.
Seed rate is 6.25 kg/ha. Seeds are sown 1.5cm deep on flatbeds or
ridges (10-15cm high). Distanse between ridges is 45 cm for Asiatic
type & 30cm forTemperate type.
Temperature range of 7- 23°C is considered optimum for seed
germination while.
Seeds are slow germinating takes 10-20 days.
Thinning is done to maintaining distance of 4-5cm betwwens

12. SOWING TIME
Sowing of Asiatic types in plain is done
during August-September and by
November-December roots will ready.
Sowing of temperate types in plains for root
production is done during October-
December.

CARROTVARIETIES

15. Tropical/ Asiatic types
• Form Good coloured roots under
high
temperature.
• Seeds can be produced in plains.
Examples: N-29
Pusa Kesar → Pusa Meghali,
etc.

IRRIGATION
Crop requires frequent irrigations at 4-6 Days
intervals during summer & 10-12 Days interval
during winter or cool season.
Irrigation after a long dry period results in
splitting
of cracking of roots.
WEED CONTROL
2-3 Hand weeding and light hoeing
done after 2 and 4 weeks after planting.
Earthing up the plant once or twice at root
formation stage otherwise roots when exposed
to sunlight develop green colour at crown or16

Pollination of carrot
• Cross-pollinated crop
• Pollination occurs mainly
through bees
• The pollen viability is depend
on the temperature
