The influence on the yield and quality of ecologically cultivated various kinds of carrot

Abstract

The influence on the yield and quality of ecologically cultivated various kinds of carrot were studied in years 2004, 2005 and 2008 in the research station of Lithuanian University of Agriculture. It was set that the total harvest of carrots varied from 34.3 t ha' to 46,5 t ha'1. Results show that the highest average total harvest was obtained of cultivated carrots: Lange rote Stumf- 44,1 t/ha, Naniaise 2 - 41,8 t ha'1, and the lowest -Amsterdam -36,21 ha'. The marketable harvest ranged from 53,3% to 70,6%. T Nantaise 2, Lange role Stumf, Karlena (average 68,6%; 67,1%; 66,4%). Were of the best marketable look. The dry matter harvest in various kinds of carrot was comparable. Carotene in vegetable roots was accumulated mostly in Amsterdam kind, less in Longe role Stumf'kind and the least in Nanteise 2 kind.
