Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at Horticultural Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, during the period from November 2018 to April 2019 to study the
application of vermicompost interaction with carrot cultivars for higher growth
and yield of carrot. The experiment consists of two factors. Factor A:Three carrot
cultivar, CRS-016, New kuroda and Sangal. Factor B: four levels of
vermicompost, V
0
: 0 t/ha, V
1
: 6 t/ha, V
2
: 10 t/ha and V
3
:14 t/ha were used for the
present study. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications.
Results showed that highest yield of carrot (19.84 t/ha) was found from Sangal
cultivar and lowest yield (16.52 t/ha) was found from CRS-016 . For different
levels of vermicompost, the highest yield of carrot (25.35 t/ha) was found from V
2
(10 t/ha) treatment and the lowest yield (12.55 t/ha) was found from V
0
(control)
treatment. In case of combined effect, the highest yield of carrot (29.60 t/ha) was
produced from C
3
V
2
(Sangal and 10 t/ha) treatment combination and the lowest
yield (11.46 t/ha) was found from C
1
V
0
(CRS-016 and control) treatment
combination. From the treatment combination of Sangal with 10 t/ha
vermicompost appeared to be the best for cultivation of carrot under Sher-eBangla
Agricultural
University
Farm
condition.
