The main enemy of carrots in the garden is the carrot fly, so it is worth knowing how to treat the plantings so as not to lose the harvest.
You need to dissolve a tablespoon of black or red pepper in 10 liters of water and water the beds with it.
This amount is enough for 10 square meters.
Carry out the treatment immediately after the first thinning.
After the second thinning, you need to dissolve 3 grams of manganese and the same amount of boric acid in 10 liters of water and water the beds.
This amount is enough for 3 square meters. After twenty days, the procedure should be repeated, but before that, water the beds with ordinary water.
This solution will protect root crops from pests.
Prevention against fruit cracking is simple: thin out the plantings so that there is a distance of 5 cm between the shoots.
