Carrots need to be watered. Moisture deficiency is a condition under which it is impossible to get a bountiful harvest of garden crops.
However, watering the plant should not be regular.
There is one period during which the soil does not need to be moistened.
Moreover, at this time it is advisable to completely abandon the procedure: excess moisture can only harm the crop.
What period are we talking about?
Until the seeds germinate, carrots should be watered daily.
But immediately after the emergence of strong shoots, it is advisable to temporarily stop the procedure.
It is recommended to refrain from replenishing the lack of water in the soil for exactly two weeks.
The absence of excess liquid during this period is a guarantee of the plant's rooting. In other words, the root system will be able to go deeper.
In such conditions, the growth and development of garden crops accelerates. The formed root crops are healthy.
In addition, the vegetables come out quite large and very tasty.
After the 14-day “dry” period has ended, watering of carrots should be resumed.
An important point: very high air temperature is a reason to water the plant, regardless of what stage of development the garden crop is at.
