Scarlet Nantes

Carrot
Bright red variety of Nantes carrot known for its sweetness and smooth texture.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Loamy Soil

    Balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, well-draining but retains moisture, highly fertile.

  • pH Range: 6.6 - 7.3

    Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.

  • Organic Matter: Low (1% - 2%)

    Soils with some organic matter, but still insufficient for optimal plant growth.

  • Salinity Level: 2 - 4 (Slightly Saline)

    Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
    Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.

  • Hardiness Zone: 8A (Min: 10°F, Max: 15°F)
  • Humidity: Low

    Somewhat dry, common in transitional climates.
    Impact: Moderate stress for moisture-sensitive plants; may require supplemental irrigation.

  • Water Requirement: N/A - N/A inches per week

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (0.5 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.2 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.1 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Nitrogen (N) (1 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.3 - 2)

    Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.

  • Sulfur (S) (0.2 - 6)

    Key component of some amino acids and vitamins, supports overall plant metabolism.
