Performance of different carrot genotypes and impact of GA3 on seed production potential of BU carrot-1



 

ABSTRACT: Two field experiments were conducted in the Horticultural Research Farm of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh during November 2017 to May 2018. In the first experiment, the varietal performance of the carrot genotypes namely BU Carrot 1, New Kuroda, Chantanany Kuroda, Sin Kuroda and Kuroda-35 were studied. The second experiment was undertaken to find out the effect of different concentrations of GA3 (0, 100, 200, 300 ppm) on the seed yield of BU carrot 1. The BU Carrot 1 showed the highest root yield (25.8 t ha-1) followed by New Kuroda (22.7 t ha-1). The highest seed yield (1243.0 kg ha-1) was obtained in the treatment sprayed with 200 ppm GA3, which was significantly higher from those of 300 ppm of GA3 (774 kg ha-1) treatment. The findings showed that BU Carrot1 had higher performance of yield compared to other genotypes and it provided the highest seed yield with the foliar application of GA3 at 200 ppm concentration.
