Abstract: In order to explore the most suitable sowing dates of carrots in Hohhot district in spring,
six different sowing dates were set up on April 25th, May 5th, May 15th, May 25th, June 4th and June
14th, and the early bolting, economic traits and yield of ‘H1306’ carrot were compared and analyzed.
The results showed that the earlier the sowing date, the higher the early bolting rate, and the more serious
impact on the quality, yield and traits of carrots. The early bolting rate of carrots sown on June 4th and
June 14th were 4.1% and 3.7%, respectively, which were significantly lower than other sowing dates, and
the average single root weight, root length, root diameter and commercial yield were all better than that of
other sowing dates. A comprehensive analysis showed that the sowing date of carrot in Hohhot area in spring
should not be earlier than May 25th, otherwise the phenomenon of early bolting would occur and the yield
and quality would be seriously affected. |
