Carrot bifurcation causes and prevention

Dividing and splitting roots in the production of carrots will cause them to lose their commodity value and greatly affect their income.

Carrot bifurcation is the result of the inhibition of the growth of the main root (flesh root) without the growth of roots. Under normal circumstances, adventitious roots only absorb water and nutrients, but if the main root of the carrot is damaged or growth is blocked, the adventitious roots will accumulate nutrients and inflate.

There are five main reasons that cause carrot fork root to split:

1, seed quality

Chen seeds have weak viability and poor germination, affecting the growth of the young roots. Some radicles are destroyed and bifurcates are easy to occur. The seeds harvested during the rainy season are susceptible to poor embryo or embryo maldevelopment due to poor pollination. These seeds are prone to bifurcation of fleshy roots.

2. Soil

There are gravels, bricks, tiles, roots and other hard objects in the soil that hinder the growth of roots and produce bifurcations; the shallow and hard ground of the cultivated land is susceptible to the growth of the main root, promoting the growth and development of adventitious roots, resulting in bifurcation.

3, fertilization

Excessive fertilization or non-uniform fertilization may lead to excessively high EC values ​​in the soil at the root tip of the carrot. The root tip of the main root is affected by high concentrations of soil ions and causes adventitious root growth to cause bifurcation in the carrot.

4, improper management

Watering is irrational. If the dry roots of the carrots are not in the dry season, they will be overly hard and the main roots will not go down and form bifurcations. This happens when the watering is impregnated with water or the ground is higher. The phenomenon is particularly evident.

5, damage by underground pests

Earthworms such as cockroaches and cockroaches bite on the main roots of carrots, causing the main roots to be destroyed, causing the growth of adventitious roots to cause bifurcations.

Ways to prevent carrot fork root split:

1. Choose the high-quality, high-product varieties with straight roots that are resistant to bifurcations, such as the five-inch ginseng in the new Kuroda, and the five-inch red honour.

2. When buying seeds, choose fresh and full-grown seeds.

3, the plot to deep plowing, deep plowing not less than 25 to 30 centimeters, fine-grained 2 to 3 times, and strive to fine soil; soil preparation not to leak, especially on the ground side. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to smashing bricks, tiles, stones and roots in the ground.

4, should pay attention to a reasonable period of reasonable watering, do watering, watering, remember to fill "Happy Valley water."

5, organic fertilizer to fully decompose, fertilization and strive to spread evenly.

6. Pay attention to the prevention and control of underground pests in time to avoid their harm.
