Thanks to its nutritional value and vitamin content, as well as its cold resistance, carrot gained particular popularity in regions with a temperate and cold climate. Carrots bear fruit well after cucumber, tomato, cabbage, onion and cereals.

Peculiarities
Carrots are one of few crops that react poorly to the introduction of manure and dung: the taste of root crops deteriorates, and the color becomes uneven. After favorable predecessors, a single autumn or pre-sowing application of soil improvers SatoSoil® is recommended. According to the results of a chemical composition analysis of soils, an autumn application of organo-mineral biostimulants SatoGrow® may be required. Activation of soil improvers or solid biostimulants is carried out with liquid solutions of humic and fulvic acids.
Pre-sowing preparation of carrot seeds allows treatment and germination to increase seed viability. Larger seeds usually produce stronger seedlings.
Potassium humate Sato® Seeds is used for seed dressing and germination to expand the self-protection of seedlings and to inhibit the bacterial and mycotic environment.
Like all cold-tolerant crops, carrots are long daylight crops, susceptible to the full spectrum of light, so late harvesting is necessary, and to excessive moisture, therefore sprinkler and drip irrigation is often used in carrot plantations and good soil drainage is required.
Carrots are particularly sensitive to potassium throughout all growing cycle. To increase the keeping quality of carrots, the calcium-containing composition SatoHum® Ca is added, which contributes to generative mass gain and improves the synthesis of sugars and the strengthening of tissues in the core.
Signs of nutrient deficiency in carrots
- yellowing and shrinkage of the leaves - lack of nitrogen;
- excessive vegetative mass gain, slowdown in root growth - excess nitrogen;
- uneven coloring of root vegetables, cracking of root crops - potassium starvation, a possible lack of watering;
- small fruits, reddening of root vegetables - lack of phosphorus;
- excessive thickening of the base of the root vegetable (cork), underdeveloped carrot fruit - an excess of minerals.

Recommended products for carrots
WARNING: 4 Sato® Steps is a comprehensive crop care system that provides the basic crop needs for the main 12 macro, meso and micronutrients for an optimal growing cycle and unlocking the potential of each crop.
SOILS: In pre-sowing application of SatoSoil® Soil improvers, the minimum rate is introduced, when autumn applying, the maximum rate is recommended. When applying SatoGrow® Biostimulants after SatoSoil® Soil improvers, the minimum rate is applied; if the soil hasn’t been treated, the maximum rate is applied. For irrigation, it’s recommended to activate granulates (soil improvers or biostimulants) with SatoHum® liquid formulations and SatoGrow® liquid organo-mineral biostimulants.
SEEDS/SEEDLINGS/VEGETATION BEGINNING: Treatment of seeds and seedlings with Sato® Seeds formulation is compatible with treatment by classical protectants without reducing the rates of their application, and helps to increase the viability of seedlings, the development of the plant and its fruitfulness.
GROWTH: Our SatoHum® solutions have a guaranteed composition with high content of humic and fulvic acids with amino acids of plant origin. It is not recommended to exceed the total applying dose of SatoHum® liquid formulations over 6 l/ha/season, starting from the germination/seedlings phase.
HARVEST: Simultaneous fertilization with several SatoHum® products is not expected. It’s not recommended to exceed the specified application rates. For single, not systemic application of SatoHum® products, the maximum dosage of the product is recommended.
