Carrot

Application technology:

1. Seed pre-treatment*. Application rate of the preparation – 20 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 100 ml of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 kilo of seeds. Seed treatment (soaking for up to 10-12 hours) by a Lignohumate solution with consumption rate of 3 l per 1 kilo of seeds. Combination with protectants or bio-preparations is recommended.

2. Foliar dressing during the phase when 1 to 3 regular leaves are grown. Application rate of the preparation – 30-150** g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15 - 0.75** l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

3. Foliar dressing at the early root formation phase. Application rate of the preparation – 30-150** g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15 - 0.75** l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used.

4. Foliar dressing of plants before a closure between rows. Application rate of the preparation – 30-150** g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.15 - 0.75** l of Lignohumate B, BM per 1 hectare. Consumption rate of the solution – 200 - 300 l per one hectare. Standard or low-capacity sprayers can be used. It is recommended to apply Lignohumate in a mixture with protectors and soluble fertilizers.

5. If an irrigation system is used, then the preparation is to be applied with water several times per season. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution. IF drip irrigation is used, then the preparation is to be applied at the last or last-but-one watering 1 time each 7-10 days. Lignohumate solution concentration – 0.01% or 10 g of Lignohumate A, AM, or 0.05 l of Lignohumate B, BM per 100 l of watering solution.

Thus, thanks to the above described properties we have:

- ncreased crop yield;

- etter merchantability of the crop better evenness of root crop;

- rop quality improvement higher sugar content, but a smaller % of nitrates and heavy metal salts).

By virtue of its physiological requirements it is most preferable to apply to Carrot a potassium form with addition of a set of microelements.

*- only if seeds are not incrusted or pelletized.
