“…The content of minerals (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na) in carrot roots found in the present experiment was close to the standard values and similar to the results obtained by other authors (KaacK et al 2001, Dyśko, KaniSzewSKi 2007, majKowSKa-gadomSKa, wierzbicKa 2010, Smoleń et al 2012. The growth stimulators used in the experiment did not have a major effect on the content of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in carrot roots.…”

Agronomic factors, and mineral fertilization in particular, have a strong impact on the quality of carrot roots. In recent years, researchers have begun to design eco-friendly agricultural practices that would stimulate the quality and yield of carrot roots. Our aim has been to analyse selected quality parameters pertaining to the chemical composition of carrot roots, and relate them to the application of different growth stimulators and cover crops. For this purpose, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2011 investigating the effect of growth stimulators and stubble crops on the accumulation of chemical components in storage roots of carrot (cv. Laguna F1). The study included three growth stimulators: Asahi SL, Bio-algeen S 90 and Tytanit. Plots without any foliar application of these growth stimulators served as control treatment. Another factor consisted of the previous crop (spring barley) and stubble crops: tansy phacelia and a mixture of spring vetch and field pea, grown after the harvest of barley and then ploughed in. All the growth stimulators significantly reduced the NO 3 content in carrot roots. Asahi SL significantly increased the phenolic content. The effects of the growth stimulators on the macronutrient content in carrot roots were statistically significant in the case of Mg and Na. Stubble cropping contributed to the reduction of nitrates and stimulated an increase in the content of phenolics as well as of P, K, Ca and Mg in carrot roots.

“…These findings were confirmed by research by Elkner and Kaniszewski (1995) in which drip irrigation decreased the amount of carbohydrates, fibre and nitrates in tomato fruits. Dyśko and Kaniszewski (2007) found that surface and subsurface irrigation decreased dry matter content and total N content in carrot roots.…”

The experiment investigated the effect of different irrigation methods (no irrigation, irrigation by means of a drip tape) and method of AgroHydroGel application (control, AgroHydroGel applied to seedlings, AgroHydroGel applied to plants in the field, half of the AgroHydroGel applied to seedlings, the other half to plants in the field) on the yield level and quality of celeriac grown in the field. Irrigation significantly increased yields as well as the average weight of the marketable root; however, it had no influence on the nutrient contents. The application of AgroHydroGel to plants in the field or in a split proportion resulted in the most favourable influence on yielding. In the non-irrigated combination, AgroHydroGel applied entirely to plants in the field or in a split proportion increased marketable root yields. In the irrigated treatments, the highest yield was obtained in the plots where hydrogel was applied to plants in the field. Roots from the treatments where AgroHydroGel had been applied in a split proportion contained more dry matter as compared to the control. In the non-irrigated combination, AgroHydroGel applied entirely to plants in the field and in a split proportion increased ascorbic acid content. Simultaneously, irrigation and hydrogel application in a split proportion increased total sugar content as compared to the plants in which the hydrogel was only applied to the seedlings.

“…In the studies by Rolbiecki et al (2003), the yields of carrot were significantly higher, both in dry and wet years. The positive effect of drip irrigation on the yield of carrots grown on flat ground and ridges was also obtained by Dyśko & Kaniszewski (2007), with surface irrigation giving better results than subsurface irrigation in the cultivation on ridges. When growing parsnip, both surface and subsurface irrigation significantly increased the size of the crop and its quality, reducing the number of forked and deformed roots in comparison with the control combination without irrigation (Kaniszewski & Dyśko 2008).…”

SummaryIn the years 2005-2007, a study was carried out to investigate the effect of surface and subsurface drip irrigation on the yield of witloof chicory in flatground and ridge cultivation. Irrigation began at a soil water potential of 30-40 kPa. Irrigation was found to have a beneficial effect on the yield and quality of the roots of witloof chicory. The largest increase in yield was obtained in the first year, in which there was a drought during sprouting and scarcity of rainfall during vegetative growth. In flat-ground cultivation, and in the year with insufficient soil humidity in ridge cultivation, surface irrigation was more beneficial in comparison with subsurface irrigation because it created better conditions in terms of moisture levels, particularly for the germinating seeds. In the years with sufficient rainfall during germination and sprouting no significant differences were found in the yield of chicory roots between surface and subsurface irrigation.Chicory plants were forced hydroponically in water using a standard nutrient solution. The roots obtained from irrigated plots, as well as those from flatground cultivation, produced significantly longer and tighter chicons. Over the three years of the study, internal browning of the stem, which is a physiological disorder lowering the quality of chicons, occurred only in 2005. It might have been caused by high temperatures during sprouting and high moisture deficiency in the soil during vegetative growth. The use of irrigation significantly reduced the incidence of this phenomenon, especially in flat-ground cultivation.
