| Fit | Favourable |
|---|---|
| When to plant | 27 Dec 2025 – 18 Sep 2026 closed for this season |
| Expected harvest | about 50.0 t/ha |
| Harvest | From 27 Mar 2026 to 26 Jan 2027, depending on the planting date |
| Ready to harvest | 90–130 days after planting |
| Work it takes | 108–216 days per hectare, by hand |
Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 1 Jan 2026. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Suhag is close to normal, so these dates match the pattern the area usually follows.
Planting after 18 Sep 2026 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.
What decides this in Suhag
| Rain and temperature | 96% |
|---|---|
| The soil | 96% |
| The lie of the land | 88% |
For carrot in Suhag, the lie of the land is the tightest of the three at 88%. You cannot flatten it, but you can farm it: plant along the contour rather than up and down, ridge or tie ridges to hold water on the slope, and expect shallower rooting than the crop would manage on flat ground.

What it takes to grow carrot in Suhag
| Planting material | About 750,000 plants per hectare |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | About 90 kg per hectare |
| Phosphate (P₂O₅) | About 45 kg per hectare |
| Potash (K₂O) | About 240 kg per hectare |
| In the shops | A basal compound at planting — Compound D, or an NPK blend — covers the phosphate and potash. A nitrogen top dressing — urea or AN — goes on once the crop is established. |
| Hand work | 108–216 days per hectare, by hand |
These are the nutrients a carrot crop of that size carries off the field. What you actually apply depends on what your soil already holds — which is what a soil test, or the app's field records, tell you.
