Method for Evaluating Excessive Secondary Root Development in Carrots1

Year: 1976

Type: article

Abstract: An index rating system was developed to evaluate the degree to which carrot ( Daucus carota L.) develop “hairy” roots and was used to evaluate the influence of moisture on 6 carrot cultivars grown on sandy soil. A yield increase and reduction of secondary root formation was observed for all cultivars provided supplemental irrigation.
