Avaliação da Qualidade e Produtividade da Cenoura com Diferentes Densidades de Plantio

The performance of a carrot crop depends on several factors including the density of planting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different planting densities on carrot growing in length, diameter, weight per unit and produção/m 2 . The study was conducted at Farm Santo Antonio, in the municipality of SponsorshipMG in 2011. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks with five treatments and five replications in a floor area of 25m2, with the treatment plant densities 10, 8, 6, 4 and 3 cm between plants. The spacing adopted was 25 cm. As they increased the planting density was decreased in length and root diameter and weighing. Productivity density of 8 cm between plants showed the highest mean of 6.68 kg/m 2 . The increase in the density of planting carrot results in an increase in length and root diameter and weight per unit and to a certain limit is the compensation of the total production by raising the number of plants. The best density cultivation of carrot cultivar "Brasilia", considering the quality of trade, 6 and 8 cm between plants.
