Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Mean performance of carrot (Daucus carota L.) genotypes for yield and yield contributing characters under cold arid conditions of Ladakh” was carried out at Vegetable Research Farm HMAARI Leh to find out the performance of different genotypes of carrot (Daucus carota L.) with respect to yield and yield contributing characters during year 2019 and 2020, comprising sixteen carrot genotypes. The experiment was laid in RBD with three replications. Observations were recorded on root length (cm), Root diameter(cm), root weight (g) and yield (q/ha) for two consecutive years and data pooled over two years revealed that SK-C-13 performed best in terms of all the characters studied i.e root length (16.30cm), Root diameter (2.86cm), root weight (62.86g) and yield (260.92q/ha) and has a potential to be utilised for further breeding programmes for the improvement of carrot in Leh region.
