Vegetable cultures demand periodic agrotechnical procedures which for certain increase their productivity. Thinning of carrot also concerns them.
Very often uneven distribution of the sizes of tops of vegetable and root crop, root crop change in shape in carrots harvest meets. The reason for that – frequent landing of carrots and also lack of thinning of orange root crops.
It is necessary to carry out thinning when each plant has about 2-3 leaves on stalk. Before removal of unnecessary sprouts it is necessary to humidify the soil. Further thinning of carrots is carried out after stalks of carrots are extended. Before the procedure it is necessary to humidify the soil not to damage other landings.
The distance between two plants has to make diameter of root crop of carrots of this grade. Such distance is considered admissible, and both plants will receive necessary amount of favorable substances. Close put root crops will interfere with each other to develop and raise.
It is necessary to extend carrots the movement up, but not on each side, one breakthrough not to spoil the main root of the next plants which are located very densely. After that there is risk of formation of several roots and withdrawal from normal form of carrots. The first time needs to be thinned out at distance of 2-3 centimeters, and the second - at distance of 5-6 centimeters. It is convenient to carry out the procedure garden tweezers.
It is favorable to thin out carrots the second time early in the morning or in the evening. At process of thinning in air the sweet aroma of root crop of carrots is distinguished, and this smell attracts the carrot fly infecting plant. That it has not occurred, surely you carry away the pulled-out sprouts far from the site: in compost heap, the dug pole. Do not leave the pulled-out plants on bed! Also after thinning it is recommended to strew the earth with hot peppery spice to expel wreckers.
When thinning carrots delete weeds. This culture will be able to yield full-fledged harvest at constant earthing up, thinning and scarification.
After thinning take care of preservation of harvest. The growing carrots demand moisture: after implementation of active watering there have to pass 5-6 days, depending on weather. Waterings have to be abundant and infrequent. After watering it is necessary to carry out loosening on small depth: 3-5 cm. When carrots develop, it will demand fertilizing: it is necessary to introduce fertilizer the standard fertilizer intended for fertilizing of root crops.
Despite tiresome and boring process of thinning of carrots, it is necessary for its development.
