“…Manures that include higher nitrogen levels appear to have encouraged photosynthetic activity and rapid vegetative growth, which in turn led to a bigger accumulation of food material i.e., carbohydrates and an increase in the TSS content of plants. The results were in close conformity with Wafaa [11] and Mahala et al [12].…”

The objective of the experiment was to examine the effects of organic manures and natural farming on the quality and economics of carrots. It was conducted at the research farm of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Centre of Excellence for Organic Farming of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during the rabi season. Three replications and eight treatments were included in the RBD design of the experiment. Three different organic manures were applied: FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure and in combination with biofertilizer (Azatobacter and PSB). Treatment of cow based bio-formulations (Ghanajeevamrit and Jeevamrit) and control was also included as treatment where no biofertilizer and manure were used. The study revealed significant improvements in almost all quality attributes due to the combined application of organic manures along with biofertilizer. Among different treatments, vermicompost + biofertilizer surpassed all other treatments by giving maximum root yield (283.4 qha-1), maximum content of the total sugar (8.79%), reducing sugar (4.09%), non-reducing sugar (4.64%), TSS (11.5°Brix) and Chlorophyll content in leaves (4.37 nmol cm-2). Also, the treatment vermicompost + biofertilizer gave maximum gross return (Rs. 425100 ha-1), net return (Rs. 232873 ha-1), and Benefit Cost ratio (2.21). It was also observed during the study that control treatment showed lowest findings among all the treatments.

“…This nding aligns with the report of [70] that carrot splits when the cell walls rupture, forming longitudinal fractures in the phloem parenchyma as a result of internal turgor pressure. They stated that carrot susceptibility to cracking increases following maturity of the roots and that the timing of harvest is critical.…”

Carrot is a root vegetable crop. The management of agronomic practices is an important factor that strongly affects the growth, yield and quality of carrots. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different types of organic manure and mulching materials on the growth, yield and quality of carrots in Diguna Fango District, southern Ethiopia. The study consisted of four organic manures (control, 20 t PM ha − 1 , 20 t FYM ha− 1 and 20 t mixed manure (10 t PM + 10 t FYM) ha− 1) and three types of mulching (no mulching, sawdust mulching and grass mulching) laid in the RCBD, with four replications in a factorial arrangement. Analysis was performed using the SAS software package. Root diameter, fresh weight, dry weight, yield and total yield were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by the interaction effect of organic manure and mulching materials. Among the different combinations, 20 t of mixed manure (10 t PM + 10 t FYM) with grass mulch ha− 1 surpassed all the other combinations in terms of maximum root length (22.45 cm), root diameter (6.60 cm), fresh weight (179.25 g), dry weight (26.16 g), marketable root yield (27.90 t ha− 1) and total root yield (33.92 t ha− 1) during the experimental year. Similarly, PM with grass mulching also produced better results pertaining to carrot growth and yield. Based on these results, the greatest net benefit (360,520 Birr ha− 1) with an MRR of 3803% was obtained from the treatment combination of 20 t FYM with grass mulching. Therefore, the use of 20 t FYM with grass mulching could be recommended for carrot production in the study area. Since this study is limited by the use of organic manure with mulching materials during one season and at one location, the results should be repeated across seasons and locations.

“…Increased nitrogen through manures apparently helped in vigorous vegetative growth and favored photosynthetic activity for greater accumulation of food material, i.e., carbohydrates that increased the TSS content in carrots. These results are in close conformity with those of Wafaa (2013). Josiane et al (2014), in studying the nutritional quality of carrots as in uenced by farmyard manure, observed that farmyard manure did not signi cantly improve the total soluble sugar content in carrots, which contradicts the current ndings.…”

Analysis was performed using the SAS software package. Root diameter, root fresh weight, root dry weight, marketable yield and total root yield were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by the interaction effect of organic manure and mulching materials. The main effects of organic manure and mulching also significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affected plant height, leaf number, leaf length, root length, unmarketable root yield, root dry matter content, forked roots, cracked roots and TSS. Among the different combinations, 20 t of mixed manure (10 t PM + 10 t FYM) with grass mulching ha− 1 surpassed all the other combinations in terms of maximum root length (22.45 cm), root diameter (6.60 cm), root fresh weight (179.25 g), root dry weight (26.16 g), marketable root yield (27.90 t ha− 1) and total root yield (33.92 t ha− 1) during the experimental year.
