Sowing Instructions
- Sow carrot seeds directly in the permanent field, as transplanting is not recommended. Sow 0.5–1 cm deep in light, loose, stone-free soil to ensure straight roots, in rows 20–30 cm apart. After germination, thin to one plant every 5 cm for uniform root size. Carrots need regular, balanced irrigation; avoid waterlogging or drought stress.
Sowing Season
- Temperate regions: spring, summer and autumn.
- Warm regions of Saudi Arabia: sow during mild periods and avoid the intense heat of mid-summer.
Harvest
- Harvest when roots reach the proper size and full color, lifting them carefully to preserve root quality.
Orkida Tip
- For straight, smooth carrots, prepare the soil well before sowing and remove any clods or stones. Keeping soil moisture steady improves root shape and quality and reduces cracking.
