In carrot cultivation, the soil moisture level should be 70-75% before irrigation. Late-season carrots are mainly sown in late June and early July, while root formation coincides with the cool days of autumn.
To ensure good seed germination, water is applied for 2-3 days after sowing until the ridges darken, followed by an additional irrigation for the seeds. Taking soil moisture into account, it is recommended that the irrigation duration does not exceed 24 hours. When carrots are watered 3-4 times, seedlings begin to appear in all rows.
Irrigation is required every 7-8 days until September, and every 10-12 days in autumn. In areas where groundwater is deep, 11-12 irrigations during the season are sufficient, while in shallow areas, 6-8 irrigations will be enough. The irrigation rate ranges between 6,200 - 10,900 m³/ha, depending on soil and climatic conditions. Proper irrigation is crucial for increasing productivity.
