Abstract

-1 combined with six rates of urea (0, 68.5, 267.2, 274,342.5 and 411 kg urea ha -1 ). The field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with seven fertilizer treatments, replicated five times. Yield and yield components of carrot were significantly influenced by the pre- harvest combined application of orga and urea treatments. Pre-harvest application of 309 kg orga ha -1 combined with 274 kg urea ha -1 increased yield of carrot by 46% compared to the control treatment. The values of yield components of carrot were also increased in response to the increased rate of combined orga and urea fertilizer application. The result showed that the combined application of 309 kg ha -1 orgaand 274 kg ha -1 urea resulted in the maximum yield of carrot.
