ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2008-2009 to study the effect of cut root and organics on carrot seed production, cv.Jatt local. The experiment was comprised of full root, 1/4 cut root,1/2 cut root,3/4 cut root as main factor and recommended dose of fertilizers (75: 60.5: 50 kg / ha), farm yard manure (10t/ha), sheep manure (3t/ha), vermicompost (3 t/ha) as sub factor. It was conducted in factorial randomised complete block design with three replications. This study revealed significant differences due to cut root and source of organic manures. Among cut root treatments,1/2cut root recorded significantly higher (897.15kg/ha) seed yield compared to other cut root treatments. None of the organic manures found significantly superior over recommended dose of fertilizers (75: 60.5: 50 kg / ha) with respect to seed yield.
Key words :
Carrot, Cut root, Daucus carota, Organic manures and Seed yield.
