Only weak plants are removed. Thinning of carrots in the cotyledonous state is also permissible, such manipulation is possible if the seedlings in the garden appear unevenly, in bunches. The second time the carrots are thinned out, when the roots reach 1.3-1.5 cm, the distance is 3 cm. For the third time, thinning is carried out as needed, the distance between the roots is 5-7 cm. Be sure to sprinkle the resulting holes from the torn plants with earth. Loosening of the soil is carried out after rain or watering, between the rows. Be sure to remove all weeds.

And upon arrival you will make abundant watering, then the roots may crack, while the carrots will no longer have a presentation and will lose their ability to be stored for a long time. In this case, watering should be resumed from 2-4 liters / m2, after 1-2 days, watering is increased by 5-8 liters / m2. It is necessary to pour water onto the beds gradually so that the soil can be saturated with moisture by 12-15 cm. Top dressing of root crops can be carried out in stages, the main thing is to take into account the condition of the plants and what fertilizers were previously applied to this bed. At the first feeding, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, 10-15 grams of urea per 1m2, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are added to the second feeding, 20-30 grams of superphosphate per 1m2, 10-15 grams of potassium salt per 1m2. Humus should be introduced into poor soil – a bucket per square meter from autumn. To enhance the growth of root crops, bird droppings will do (1:10 or 1:15). It is advisable to insist the fertilizer for several days in a warm place. Before watering, the fertilizer is diluted again, 1 liter of fertilizer per 10 liters of warm water.
