Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Studies on the influence of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of carrot (Daucus carota L.) Cv. Super Kuroda” was carried out at College of Horticulture, SKLTS Horticultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during Rabi 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and three replications. Treatments consisted of T₁ - 50% RDF + AMC (12.5 kg ha^-1), T₂ - 50% RDF + Azospirillum (10 kg ha^-1), T₃ - 50% RDF + PSB (10 kg ha^-1), T₄ - 75% RDF + AMC (12.5 kg ha^-1), T₅ - 75% RDF + Azospirillum (10 kg ha^-1), T₆ - 75% RDF + PSB (10 kg ha^-1), T₇ - 90% RDF + AMC (12.5 kg ha^-1), T₈ - 90% RDF + Azospirillum (10 kg ha^-1), T₉ - 90% RDF + PSB (10 kg ha^-1), T₁₀ - 100% RDF (control). Results revealed that, treatment T₇ (90% RDF + AMC (12.5 kgha^-1)) registered significantly higher plant height (55.93 cm), leaf length (41.72 cm), maximum number of leaves per plant (15.73), minimum number of days taken to harvest (75.61 days), maximum root length (18.76 cm), root diameter (4.03 cm), root weight (93.25 g), root yield per plot (10.94 kg) and root yield per ha (27.35 t ha^-1).
