To assess the effect of spacing on growth and yield of carrot (Daucus carota L.) Cv. Pusa Kesar

Abstract

Field experiment entitled “To assess the effect of spacing on growth and yield of carrot (Daucus carota L.) Cv. Pusa kesar” have been conducted at the research farm of AKS University, Sherganj Satna during rabi season of 2015-16. Experiment comprised of three level of spacing’s viz. - 8 x 10 cm, 8 x 20 cm and 8 x 30 cm. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with factorial concept with three replications. Plant spacing of 8 x 30 cm caused significant influence on growth parameters such as height of the plant, number of leaves per plant, yield and yield attribute were also affected by plant spacing. Wider spacing (8 x 30cm) was found highly significant on all growth and yield attributes, however maximum root yield i.e.113.45q/ha was obtained when plant spacing i.e. 8 x 30 cm was kept.
