Experiments were conducted at Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during the period from November to February in 2005-06 and 2006-07 to determine the appropriate irrigation schedule for carrot production in hill valley. The experiment consisted of five treatments of irrigation after plant established viz. No irrigation (I 0 ), irrigation at 1W: CPE of 0.6 (I 1 ), irrigation at 1W: CPE of 0.8 (1 2 ), irrigation at 1W: CPE of 1.0 (I 3 ) and irrigation at 1W: CPE of 1.2 (I 4 ). The amount of irrigation water (IW) was fixed at 4 cm. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with 3 replications. The treatments significantly influenced the growth, yield contributing characters and yield of carrot. Among the treatments, irrigation at IW: CPE of 1.2 gave the maximum yield (51.47 t/ha) which received 4 irrigations after plant stand with applied total irrigation water of 16 cm resulting in the highest net return of Tk. 120,443 with the highest BCR of 2.41. It also produced carrot at the lowest production cost of Tk. 1.66 per kg. Irrigation water use efficiency was obtained 1705.63 kg/ha/cm by this treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
