The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and potassium
on the growth and yield of carrot during the period from November 2012 to
March 2013. The two-factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete
Block Design with three replications. The experiment consisted of four levels of
phosphorus, viz. P
