Sowing & Growing

Carrots are one of the most important and most popular root plants rebottles and
Also, the methods of growing carrots differ from one place to another and to another, as well as from one method to another, so we will talk a little about some methods of planting carrots.
Seeding and growing
The plant goes through several stages during its growth, as it completes its cultivation through seeds.
Sowing and seedling stage
Germination directly in the soil:
- Prepare the soil mixture and plant the seeds at a depth of 1 cm in the soil, where the seeds must be covered with soil for the success of the germination process (a mixture of 70% cocopeat – 10% vermiculite – 5% perlite – 15% plant compost is preferred. It cannot be Increasing the proportion of compost to 30% when the plant grows, and do not add any larger amount of organic fertilizer to the soil when planting carrots so that the roots do not branch out into the soil.
- Spray the soil and seeds with water using a spray bottle or a spray bottle and cover them with a plastic box or a plastic bag to speed up the germination process, do not forget to make holes in the plastic box so that the seeds can breathe. Germination takes about 3 to 15 days.
- Examine the seeds once every 3 days and make sure that the soil has sufficient moisture for the seeds until germination. After germination, the plastic bag is removed and the plant is placed in a sunny place, don’t forget to water them well.
Germination in seedling trays or small containers:
It is preferable to plant in this way to achieve the highest rates of growth and to provide the appropriate conditions for seed germination in a better way, and this also encourages the seeds to grow better.
- Prepare the soil mix and plant the seeds at a depth of 1 cm in the soil, where the seeds must be covered with soil for the success of the germination process (a mixture of 70% cocopeat – 10% vermiculite – 5% perlite – 15% plant compost is preferred). Adding a larger amount of organic fertilizer to the soil when planting carrots so that the roots do not disperse into the soil.
- Spray the soil and seeds with water using a sprayer and cover them with a plastic box or a plastic bag to speed up the germination process, do not forget to make holes in the plastic box so that the seeds can breathe. Germination takes about 3 to 15 days.
- Examine the seeds once every 3 days and make sure that the soil has sufficient moisture for the seeds until germination. After germination, the plastic bag is removed and the plant is placed in a sunny place, paying attention to watering well.
- After 4 leaves appear, so that there are 3 real leaves, the plant can be moved to larger containers so that there is more space for the seeds to grow and mature.
Growth stage:
It takes about 4 months for carrots to reach maturity, and during this stage, carrots need some important factors affecting their growth. The root growth period can be divided into 17 weeks.
Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that the soil is rich in various nutrients, such as vegetable compost, but at a rate not exceeding 15% to avoid dispersal of the roots.

and immune boosters, thus proving the old saying that carrots are excellent for the eyes. It has been proven that carrots have anti-diabetic, cholesterol and heart disease, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, and wound-protective effects.
Carrot seeds contain extracts with heart-healthy, liver-healthy, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.
A crop high in biochemical elements such as carotene and soluble fiber, as well as a variety of other functions
Consumption of carrots is gradually increasing as they are recognized as valuable natural antioxidants with anti-cancer properties.
Apart from being used in salads and curries, carrot roots are also professionally processed to produce other nutritionally rich commodities such as juice, concentrate, dry powder, canned, preserved, pickled, and ghuzra. Carrot pomace, which contains about 50% carotene, can be used to improve goods such as cakes, bread, and biscuits, as well as to make a variety of useful products. Health-promoting nutritional content.
Raw carrots are 88% water, 9% carbohydrates, 0.9% protein, 2.8% dietary fiber, 1% ash and 0.2% fat. Carrot dietary fiber comprises mostly cellulose, with smaller proportions of hemicellulose, lignin, and starch.[68] Free sugars in carrots include sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
The carrot gets its characteristic, bright orange color from β-carotene, and lesser amounts of α-carotene, γ-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. α- and β-carotenes are partly metabolized into vitamin A, providing more than 100% of the Daily Value (DV) per 100 g serving of carrots (right table). Carrots are also a good source of vitamin K (13% DV) and vitamin B6 (11% DV), but otherwise have modest content of other essential nutrients.
