Effect of underwinter sowing on earliness and yield of carrot

Abstract

Underwinter sowing had a favorable effect on earlmess of carrot resulting in a 29 days earlier maturing (average). Underwinter sowing had no effect on carrot yield although there was a difference in yield. Spring sowing contributed to some what higher yields although the results were statistically insignificant. The conclusion which tends to emerge is a favorable effect of underwinter sowing on carrot production. It is of major importance that underwinter sowing contributes to earliness because early carrot was noted to be highly profitable (price) on the market.

U radu se govori o uticaju predzimske setve na ranostasnost i prinos mrkve. Setva je obavljana kasno u jesen (novembar-decembar), tj. pred nastupanje jačih mrazeva. Kao kontrola posluzila je prolećna (normalna) setva. Utvrđeno je da predzimska setva značajno povećava ranostasnost ovog povrća, dok je prinos manje-više isti. Može se reći da u proizvodnji mrkve vredi koristiti predzimsku setvu (povećava se ranostasnost).
