Growing Conditions 
Carrots are subtropical plants that require cool temperatures (22-24 ° C), humidity, and adequate sunlight. It is advisable to plant carrots in the soil is fertile, friable and rich in humus with a pH between 5.5 to 6.5. Infertile soil can still be planted with carrots as long as the fertilizer-intensive. 

Guidelines Raising 
Land to be planted as deep as 30-40 centimeters processed carrots. Add manure, 1.5 kilogramg / square meter to be fairly fertile soil. When the nutrient poor soil, including chemical fertilizers can be added to the dose has been determined. Furthermore, beds made from 1.5 to 2 meters wide and its length adjusted to the land. High bed on dry land is 15 centimeters, while for the submerged land, high beds may be higher. Among the beds need to be made as wide trench about 25 inches for easy planting and plant maintenance. 
Carrot seed requirement is 15-20 grams per 10 square meters or 15-20 kilogramg per hectare. A good carrot seeds can be purchased in stores or conceive their own plants from old plants. If buying, choose seeds that have been certified. Carrot seeds can be directly deployed without sowing first. Previously, the seeds soaked in water about 12-24 hours to help the growth process. 
Then, the seeds are mixed with a little sand, and then rub-rub the seeds easily spread and are not attached to one another. Seeds are sown along the grooves in the bed with the aid of penugal, then the seed thinly covered with soil. Next, the beds immediately covered with straw or banana leaves to keep the seeds are not washed away by water. If the plant has grown (between 10-14 days), straw or banana leaves promptly removed. 

Maintenance 
After the plants grow quickly performed maintenance. The first is the maintenance of watering can be done once a day or two times a day if the air is very dry. Another way of providing water to the road is flooded ditch in between beds. This way can be done if there is drainage. Plants that have grown must be selected. The trick unplug the weak or dried plants, leave a healthy and sturdy plants. This action is at once followed by thinning useful to give the distance in the groove and keeping inadequate sunlight so the plants thrive. Produce a neat groove spacing is between 50-10 centimeters. 
Subsequent maintenance is fertilization can be performed since the two-week-old plants, followed by a second administration (1 or 1.5 months later) in the form of urea. The dose can be changed according to soil conditions and existing fertilizer recommendation. Way of fertilizing is to pour fertilizer on two centimeters deep groove extends made is about 5 inches from the plant flow. When one month old plants need to be done weeding and pendangiran. The goal is that plants are not disturbed by the weeds and keep the plant roots are not exposed to direct sunlight.
