Carrot root production as influenced by potassium and boron

A field experiment was conducted during 2014–15 season. Mineral potassium fertilizer of 0, 50, 75 and 100 kg/ha and boron at 0, 5, 10 and 15 kg/ha with a uniform dose of nitrogen and phosphorus at 80 and 50 kg/ha, respectively. The highest mean vegetative parameters (plant height, number of leaves per plant, fresh weight and dry weight of leaves) were from a treatment combination of 100 kg N and 15 kg Band yield and yield were maximum from a treatment combination of 75 kg N and 10 kg B. Application of potassium and boron at higher doses positively affected carrot root production.
