How many catties of carrots are produced per acre

Carrot yield per mu

Generally speaking, the yield of carrots per mu can reach about 7,000-9,000 kilograms, but the specific amount will be affected by factors such as variety and planting time. If you want to obtain high yields of carrots, it is best to choose high-yield varieties for planting.

Carrot farming profits

Carrots have strong growth capabilities and low planting costs. The planting cost per mu is about 2,800 yuan, and the average purchase price is 1.5 yuan/kg. Under normal planting conditions, the profit per mu can reach 3,500-4,000 yuan.

Carrots can not only be used directly, but also are the raw materials for various processed products, such as carrot juice, carrot puree, etc. Therefore, judging from the current development trend, the planting prospects are still very good.

High-yield planting technology of carrots

1. Plot selection

The main edible part of carrots is their fleshy roots, so the soil you choose must be loose, fertile, well-drained, and pollution-free. It must also be plowed more than 30 centimeters deep, ploughed and leveled, and appropriate farmyard manure should be applied as base fertilizer.

2. Sowing

Before sowing carrots, ridges need to be made and sown, and a layer of rapeseed stalks needs to be covered before sowing. The time can be chosen one day after the rain, which is more conducive to seed germination.
