Effect of Row spacing on growth and yield components of Carrot (Dacusa carrot L)

Abstract

Carrot is the most important root vegetable of Apeaceae families and it is cultivated in many parts of the world. Its production is increasing from time to time mainly due to its ease of production, and the increases in small-scale rain fed and irrigation areas. However, the production level is too low according to its potential. This is due to the case of poor Agricultural practice including spacing. Plant spacing is one of the important factors for the increased production of carrot. The objective of this review articles was to review the growth and yield response of carrot to intra row spacing. Different researchers reported that different plant spacing, have different effects for the growth and marketable yield of carrot concerning the ecology of area. So based on different scholars reports carrot plants have different response for different plant spacing ranging from 5 cm up to 7.5 cm intra row. Therefor investigation of the effect of plant spacing on carrot yield and yield component on different agro ecology is mandatory.
