Application of nitrogen significantly influenced
the number of leaves of carrot at all stage except
45 DAS (Table 1). At 45 DAS, the highest (5.10)
number of leaves was counted from N2 and the
lowest (4.19) was obtained from N0. At 60, 75
and 90 DAS, the highest number of leaves (8.07,
9.27 and 11.61) was found in N3 and the lowest
(7.02, 8.40 and 9.60) was obtained from N0. It
might be due to the higher level of N application
which increased the plants height and ultimately
the leaf number.
