Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Carrot cv T-29 planted at the Central Research Station . Joydebpur, Dhaka on 28 October and December , 1981 produced viable seeds. The later plantinggave higher yield of seeds.

Keywords: Seed Production, Carrot, Performance

Location: Central Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur

Start Date: 28-10-1981

End Date: 31-12-1982

Program Area: Seed Technology

Commodity: Carrot

Objectives:

1. To study carrot seed production ability under Bangladesh conditions.

2. To test yield performance and determine optimum date of planting

Methodology:

The cultivar T-29 of Carrot was obtained from Pakistan and planted at the Central Research Station of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur during the winter season of 1981. Seeds were sown on 28 October and 23 December 1981 in lines placed 30cm apart keeping plant to plant distance of 20cm.. The unit plot size was 4.5m x 3.0m. First flowering was recorded on 2 March and 26 March 1982 from the 28 October and 23 December sown crop respectively. The harvested seeds were stored in glass bottles under room condition and were tested in August, 1982 to see their viability.

Achievement/Findings:

Roots of the earlier planted crop were much thicker, but the size of the umbel was larger in the later planted crop. The number of the primary branches for the first and second plantings were 9 and 11, respectively. The later planting resulted in higher yield of seeds per plant (60g) as compared to the early planting (40g) The seeds of both plantings matured almost at the same time. Percentage of germination was as high as 96% for both the plantings..
