Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017 at Devanahalli village, Bengaluru rural district to study the influence of different approaches of nutrient application on yield and quality of carrot. The results revealed that significantly higher root (27. 51 t ha-1) and shoot (16.48 t ha-1) yield were recorded in STCR target of 25 t ha-1 through integrated approach. Similarly, the quality parameters of carrot viz., TSS (9.70 oBrix), beta-carotene (9.81 mg 100g-1) and reducing sugars (5.07 mg 100g-1) were significantly higher where nutrients were applied through STCR integrated approach for targeted yield of 25 t ha-1. However, non-reducing sugars and total sugars were found to be non significant.
