Carrot seeds of variety 'New Caroda' were
soaked into water for 12 hours and then wrapped
with a piece of thin cloth prior to sowing. Then
they were spread over polythene sheet for two
hours to dry. The seeds were treated with
Vitavex-200 @ 3 g/100 g seed. Seeds were used
at a rate of 3 Kg/ha as narrated by Rashid (1993),
consequently 20 g of seeds were used for the
experimental area. Seven, six and five shallow
furrows were made for spacing of 20 cm × 15 cm
with 1.5 cm depth in each plot for sowing seeds.
Seeds were sown on 25 November, 2009.
