Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and potassium
on the growth and yield of carrot during the period from November 2012 to
March 2013. The two-factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete
Block Design with three replications. The experiment consisted of four levels of
phosphorus, viz. P
0
1
:65 kg, P
2
:80 kg , and P
3
:95 kg P

/ha and four
levels of potassium, viz. K
0
1
:150 kg , K
2
:175 kg , K
3
:200 kg K
O/ha,
respectively. The highest root length
whereas, the control treatment gave the lowest results. On
the other hand, treatment K

performed the highest root length
3
K
