Carrot Nantes (Gajar) Seeds

Carrot Nantes, known for its crisp texture and sweet flavor, is a popular variety ideal for home gardens. These carrots typically grow to a medium size with a cylindrical shape and deep orange color. To sow and plant Carrot Nantes seeds in India:

• Sowing: Choose a well-drained, sandy loam soil with good fertility. Sow seeds directly into the soil about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep.
• Spacing: Leave about 2 inches between seeds in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination. Once established, carrots prefer even moisture throughout their growth period.
• Sunlight: Ensure the planting area receives full sunlight (at least 6 hours per day) for optimal growth and to avoid issues like rotting in waterlogged soil.
•  Thinning: Once seedlings emerge, thin them to about 2-3 inches apart to give each carrot enough space to grow.
•  Fertilization: Prior to sowing, mix in compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil. Avoid excess nitrogen as it can cause forking or branching of roots.
• Pest and Disease Control:Keep an eye out for pests like carrot rust fly and diseases such as damping off. Practice crop rotation and remove any affected plants promptly.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure healthy growth and a bountiful harvest of Carrot Nantes in your garden.
