“…This might be because the wider spacing reduced the competition for soil nutrients, moisture, carbon dioxide and light among the plants. This probably enhanced photosynthesis which resulted in the production of more leaves and wider canopies (Dawuda et al, 2011). Kamboj et al, (2015) also reported similar findings.…”

“…Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an important vegetable among succulent vegetables consumed across the globe. Apart from its high potential for agricultural products import and export in continental trade, it is one of the exotic vegetables with high nutritive and economic value and of great demand in urban centers of the country [1]. The crop responds favorably to both organic and inorganic fertilizers [2].…”

Nutritional quality of most high valued crops including carrot can be influenced by soil management practices. A field study to evaluate soil management improvement effect on nutritional quality of carrot was carried out in two contrasting cropping seasons of two rainfall regimes ranging from 600 mm to 800 mm in 2016 and 2017 at Mampong in the Forest-Savannah transition zone of Ghana. Three rates of soil amendments using biochar rates of 0, 5 and 10 tons/ha and five rates of inorganic fertilizers (NPK 15:15:15 at 200 kg/ha; P&K 50:50 at 50 kg/ha; P&K 50:100 at 50 kg/ha; Liquid Fertilizer at 1 L: 200 L Water/ha; and the control were applied using 3x5 factorial in RCBD. The combined analysis for the different treatments showed that NPK at 200 kg/ha+10 ton/ha biochar gave the highest protein content while Liquid fertilizer+5 ton/ha biochar gave the highest beta-carotene and total carotenoid contents in carrot root during the minor cropping season of 2016. However, during the major copping season of 2017, a combination of liquid fertilizer +10 ton/ha biochar gave the highest protein content whilst NPK at 200 kg/ha +5 ton/ha biochar gave the Asante et al.; AJSSPN, 5(2): 1-14, 2019; Article no.AJSSPN.51790 2 highest carotenoid content for the carrot. Nutritional contents such as carbohydrate, beta-carotene and total carotenoids were boosted by soil amendments. This indicates that both biochar and inorganic fertilizers have varying effects on the nutritional qualities of carrot. Original Research Article

“…Number of leaf development declined significantly. The first sown experiment (12 April) produced significantly more leaves (8.79) which then retarded significantly in the last three subsequent sowings (19 April,26 April and 03 May).…”

Field experiment was carried out at Impala Research station, in Botswana, aiming at investigating critical period for thinning of carrot (Daucus carota L.). The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized block design (CRBD), replicated three times and was repeated four times at different sowing dates. Seeds were sown at the same rate (3 kg ha-1) in all plots to obtain an equal plant population at initial stage, thereafter thinned at different times (2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th , 5 th and 6 th weeks after emergence) to 30 cm between rows and 5 cm between intra rows to maintain constant population across the experiment. Days to maturity were constant from sowing to harvest in all the sowing dates. Plant height and yield significantly declined as thinning time was delayed. Number of leaves developed, root diameter and root length were not influenced by the thinning time. Vegetative growth and yield declined with the late sown experiments. It can be concluded that thinning time significantly increase plant height and yield, especially at earlier stages and carrot yield best when sown earlier in the season.
