Carrots are the main vegetable in autumn and are widely grown. For example, in some areas of Northeast China, sowing begins in late June, while in southern regions the suitable planting period is usually around August. Let’s learn in detail about the best time to sow carrots? When is the best time to plant carrots? Carrots prefer a cool environment and high temperatures are not conducive to their growth. Therefore, planting needs to be done before the weather becomes too hot. In the south, July is the best time to plant carrots. The climate and rainfall during this period are suitable, providing good conditions for the growth of carrots. However, the specific planting time still depends on the local climate conditions. Due to the colder climate in the northern region, the planting time is generally later. Carrots are a popular vegetable that can be grown from late June to September. Although carrots can be planted in spring, summer, and autumn, carrots planted in autumn require special attention to the timing, because climate differences in different regions will lead to different planting times. For example, some areas in Northeast China may start planting in late June, while northern regions such as Shandong, Hebei, and Henan mostly plant from late July to August, and provinces such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang start planting around August. Carrot growing conditions Soil Conditions: Carrots prefer deep, loose, well-drained soil. The ideal soil pH range is 6.0 to 6.8, and it needs to be rich in organic matter and appropriate nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Soil that is too wet or too dry will affect the growth of carrots. Too wet may cause root diseases, while too dry may cause the roots to be small and rough. Light conditions: Carrots need plenty of sunlight for healthy growth. Lack of light will cause the plants to grow spindly and have poor color. Water Management: The right amount of water is essential for carrot growth. In drought conditions, carrot growth is stunted, while in rainy conditions or excessive irrigation, root diseases such as root rot may develop. Fertilizer application: Reasonable application of organic fertilizers and mineral fertilizers has a significant effect on the growth and yield of carrots. Excessive or inappropriate fertilization may cause poor growth or deformed carrots. In summary, in order to ensure the growth cycle of carrots, the planting time should be determined according to the local climate characteristics and the growth needs of carrots. Generally speaking, it takes about 100 to 110 days for carrots to grow from sowing to harvesting.
