Study of yield of some carrot cultivars in Sistan

The present study was carried out in 1995and 1996to determine the most suitable carrot cultivar for Sistan region. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block with three replications at Zahak Research Station in Zabol. Nine carrot cultivars including a local cultivar (Zardak), were planted in plots with 5 rows, 5 m length. Row space was 35 cm and plant space on the rows was 5-7 cm. Mean yields of cultivars in two years were compared statistically with local check cultivar through L. S. D. The combined analysis of variance showed a significant difference among the cultivars. Cultivar Nantes Tip Top with 16.806 tons per hectare, produced significantly higher yield than the local check and other cultivars, therefore, this cultivar can be recommended as a suitable cultivar for cultivation in Sistan region.
