Abstract:
The present investigation entit led “Influence of nitrogen and sulphur on growth and yield of
carrot” was conducted from January, 2019 to February, 2020 at the horticulture Farm of Sher-e-
Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The experiment comprised of two factors;
viz. Factor A: Four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0 kg N/ha, 40 kg N/ha, 80 kg N/ha and 120 kg
N/ha) and Factor B: Three levels of sulphur (0 kg S/ha, 5 kg S/ha and 10 kg S/ha) of carrot. The
experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. In case
of nitrogen fertilizer application, the highest plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves,
fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, length of root, diameter of root, dry weight of root and
yield were recorded and lowest percent of cracked roots per plot and lowest percent of rotten
roots per plot were recorded of carrot in case of application of nitrogen @ 120 kg N/ha. In case
of different levels of sulphur, the highest plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves, fresh
weight of plant, dry weight of plant, length of root, diameter of root, dry weight of root and yield
were recorded and lowest percent of cracked roots per plot and lowest percent of rotten roots per
plot were recorded of carrot in case of application of sulphur @ 10 kg S/ha. Again, the highest
plant height, number of leaves, length of leaves, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, length
of root, diameter of root, dry weight of root and yield (22.21 ton/ha) were recorded and lowest
percent of cracked roots per plot and lowest percent of rotten roots per plot were recorded of
carrot in case of combined effect of nitrogen @ 120 kg N/ha and sulphur @ 10 kg S/ha applying
in the carrot field.
