What is the appropriate spacing between rows and plants for carrot planting?

Carrot planting spacing

When planting carrots, you can choose to sow in high ridges or broadcast on flat beds. Usually the ridge spacing is about 50 to 60 cm , with two rows of sowing on each ridge. The plant spacing is generally about 8 to 10 cm , while when broadcasting on flat beds, the width needs to be 1 to 1.5 meters. When the fertilizer and water conditions are relatively good, the plant spacing of 10×10 cm or 12×12 cm is more suitable.

Carrot yield per mu

Under normal circumstances, the yield of carrots per mu can reach about 7,000-9,000 catties. However, because different varieties, planting seasons or management techniques will affect the yield of carrots, if you want to increase the yield, you must manage the fields scientifically and provide sufficient fertilizer and water. If all conditions are relatively good, the yield of carrots per mu can reach about 9,000 to 13,000 catties.

Carrot harvest time

Carrots are not a vegetable that can only be planted for one season. In some areas, they can be planted in spring and harvested before midsummer. Due to the great differences between the north and the south and different climatic conditions, the autumn planting time is also different. Usually the harvest period can last from October to February of the following year. The harvest time also varies due to different regions.

Under normal circumstances, carrots are planted in February each year and harvested from May to July. However, in North China, they are usually planted in early to mid-July and harvested in November.
