Desi Carrot (Gajar) Seeds

Carrot (Gajar) is a popular root vegetable known for its sweet and crunchy texture. It's rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin A, which is beneficial for eye health. Carrots grow well in loose, well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. 

Care Instructions for Sowing and Planting :

•  Sowing Time:Carrots are best sown during the cooler months in India, typically from October to December in most regions.
• Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is loose, well-drained, and free from stones to promote straight root growth.
•  Sowing Depth: Sow carrot seeds shallowly, about 1/4 inch deep, and space them 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
•  Watering:Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during germination and root development.
• Thinning: Once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, thin them to 3-4 inches apart to allow room for proper root development.
•  Sunlight: Carrots require full sunlight exposure for optimal growth and to develop their sweet flavor.
• Fertilization: Add compost or well-aged manure before planting to enrich the soil. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to forked roots.
