Abstract

A field experiment was carried out from November 2014 to April 2015 in farmer’s field, Fulbari,
Chitwan, Nepal to evaluate the response of carrot varieties to different nutrient sources and their
combinations. The experiment was laid out in two factorial randomized complete block design
with three replications. Factor A consisted of three varieties i.e. Nepadream (hybrid), New Kuroda
and Early Nantes and factor B consisted of five nutrient sources: 1) 100% RDF (60:40:40 NPK kg
ha-1 ), 2) 100% FYM @ 10 t ha-1, 3)50% RDF plus 50% FYM, 4) 50% RDF plus 50%
vermicompost , and 5) 100% vermicompost @ 4t ha-1. Significant differences were observed
between the performance of the three varieties (P<0.05). Results revealed that all vegetative
attributes were higher in Nepadream at early growth stage, but at later stage it was lower than OP
varieties. However, Nepadream produced significantly higher yield (28.56 t ha-1) than OP
varieties. Comparing the nutrient treatments, independent on the varieties, all combinations of 50%
RDF were found significantly effective in achieving better physio-morphological, growth
attributes and yield and yield attributes as compared to their sole applications. The root yield
obtained by 100% RDF (24.06 t ha-1), 50% RDF plus 50% FYM (24.68 t ha-1) and 50% RDF plus
50% vermicompost (25.28 t ha-1) were comparable. However application of 50% RDF along with
50% vermicompost performed best among all nutrient sources
