Solution(By Examveda Team)

The seed requirement for carrot cultivation is 5 - 6 kg/ha.
Carrot is a cool season crop and will develop a good colour when grown at 15°C to 20°C. The crop needs deep loose loamy soil. It requires a pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.0 for higher production. Carrot can be grown throughout the year at an elevation above 1500 metres with assured irrigation.
