After the shed was removed, the first water was poured, and 1 kilograms of urea was applied per mu with the water. When the fleshy roots and fingers of carrots are thick (entering the swelling period), it is the period when the water and nutrients are most needed. Water should be done in time to keep the land wet and dry, and water it for more than 1 times during the growing period, and topdressing urea and potassium sulfate 2-3 times in combination with water, with 15-2 kg of urea and 5 kg of potassium sulfate each time.
